Linda Morris - March can be a great time to visit Benidorm. Weather can be variable, we have had some weeks where you can sit on the beach and other weeks sheltering from the rain, generally speaking we’ve had good weather.
We love March as a contrast to the summer months so we can walk around a lot easier than when it’s really hot and visit more neighbouring resorts.
PatandMike Fenna - We have been going around the 20th March for a number of years and 8 times out of 10 it’s been lovely during the day and a bit chilly at night … perfect for us
