Benicàssim, on the shore of the Costa Azahar (Castellón-España), boasts seven kilometres of beaches in the middle of the Meditteranean Sea with all the services necessary for a pleasurable, entertaining and secure time for bathers and visitors, and recognised annually with EU blue flags. Open and calm water, there are beaches of fine sand such as Voramar, la Almadraba, Torreón and Heliópolis; or white stones, such as Els Terrers.
The Benicassim shoreline, bathing in the sun with a warm climate, is the perfect place to relax while visiting the festival, to dance with the SunBeach free activities and one of the big attractions of this small area of Castellón, but not the one. Benicassim also has mountains. The Desierto de las Palmas park rises from the coast, a natural jewel, the perfect place to disconnect and en enjoy its unique views of the Mediterranean.

What is a RFID/Cashless bracelet?
It is a bracelet that carries an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip that allows you to access the venue and certain spaces or areas, and also is used as an electronic wallet, which allows you to make purchases at all points of sale in the venue with your bracelet without the need for cash or card transactions.
Cashless is a payment system for transactions within the festival. You will have your RFID bracelet that you can top-up with the amount of money you plan to spend and use it in any bar, shop or food-truck within the festival. At the end of your visit you can retrieve the remaining money at the festival or online.
What benefits come with the RFID?
The cashless system will save you time, since queues are reduced at points of sale, on the other hand, you can forget about having to get your wallet out every time and losing it, since you can pay with a simple movement, just pass the bracelet in front of the reader RFID.
Another new feature is that you will find the ATMs to top-up your bracelet, so that transactions will be faster.
