Villajoyosa makes a useful change of scene when you want a seafront wander and a relaxed lunch away from your usual Benidorm routine. Keep the plan simple and give yourself time to enjoy the town rather than treating it as a photo stop.
Plan the journey both ways
Check current public transport routes and the walk from your arrival point to the seafront. Confirm the return service before setting off, especially for weekends or holidays. If travelling by car, allow time to find legal parking rather than assuming a space beside the beach.
Start with the seafront
Enjoy the waterfront and then explore nearby streets at your own pace. Choose a lunch stop by its menu and setting rather than the first person waving you towards a table. Check the price of seafood dishes and whether portions are intended for sharing.
Add a visit only if it fits
If you want a chocolate-related visit or a museum stop, check the exact venue’s opening times, booking requirements and language options. Do not build the day around a tour without a confirmed place.
Keep comfort in the plan
There can be slopes between transport stops, the old streets and the waterfront. Wear shoes you can walk in, carry water and leave room for a café break. For young children or limited mobility, a shorter outing can be much more enjoyable.
