The beach has been expanded for the summer, but users say that inferior sand has been used.

The Provincial Coastal Authority in Alicante has concluded work to regenerate the Levante beach in Benidorm, with the beach 5,000 square metres larger ahead of the summer.

However there have been some complaints from the public who consider that the materials sued are of a ‘very poor quality’.

Some complain of stones and mud at the waterline, but the local City Hall says that water and sand analysis is correct.
