It lies along the other side of Levante beach of Benidorm. Poniente beach is set on a former royal cattle track that is being used to run through myrtles. The natural spring of Les Fontanelles also lies on the beach.

Poniente beach is more quieter beach than Levante beach. It is popular especially for families. It is a long beach that stretches from the harbour jetty to the rocks of the Paseo Tamarindos and then continuing to the foot of the Tossal de la Cala where Benidorm locals distinguish the two sections of equal length; Poniente and La Cala.

Cleanliness and hygiene in Poniente beach is good. The Benidorm beaches are cleaned daily and the Benidorm municipal laboratory checks the quality of the seawater and sands.

The Poniente Beach Promenade is the work of the architects Carlos Ferrater and Xavier Martí Galí, that represents a radical innovation to traditional promenades. The design of the promenade recreates shapes of cliffs and waves, projected to generate areas of light and shadow, convexities and concavities with platforms at different levels creating different surfaces that can be used as recreational, leisure and meditation areas.
