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.
