Scores are a mean of recent daily bests, so they describe what a spot is usually like for a beginner rather than what it is doing right now — open a spot for today's hourly forecast. And a score describes the water, not you: it cannot see rips, local hazards or your experience. Take a lesson, read the signage, ask locally.

Frequently asked questions.
Where is the best place to learn kite surfing near Benidorm?
Platja Mascarat scores highest for beginner kite surfing near Benidorm, averaging 70 out of 100 — 15.5 km from the town centre. It is one of 12 spots within 25 km clearing the beginner threshold of 60.
What makes a spot beginner-friendly for kite surfing?
4Shor scores every spot separately for each ability, so a beginner score is not a scaled-down expert score — it rewards the conditions a learner actually needs for kite surfing, and penalises the ones that make a session unmanageable. A spot can score well for experts on the same day it scores badly for beginners.
How many beginner kite surfing spots are there near Benidorm?
12 within 25 km average 60 or better for beginner kite surfing. A page only exists here when at least 3 spots clear that bar, so this is a shortlist rather than every spot in range — the full list is on the Benidorm hub.
Does a good score mean it is safe for me to go?
No. The score describes the conditions, not you, your equipment or who you are with. It cannot see rips, local hazards, water quality or how your day is going. Treat it as a shortlist of where to look, then take a lesson, check local signage and ask someone who knows the beach.
