Villamar camp site is about 15 minutes walk from Lavante beach if you are fit and active without sunbeds etc. 

A taxi will cost around €6.50 (minimum charge)from the beach to the camp site.

There are many large supermarkets in the Rincon area of Benidorm such as Dia, Dialprix and Masymas. 

If you are a UK passport holder have you gained your non-lucrative visa to be able to live permanently in Benidorm ?

Hi again, 

Yes it's OK to do the 90/180 visits.

Yes you certainly can private message me though the forum. Do you know how to send a private message? 

I'm happy to help as much as I can.

It would be nicer to keep it public as it may help others.
You have to make sure you don't exceed 90 days in any 180 and ensure you spend as least 183 days a year in the UK.

Yes you can visit Benidorm 90 days in a rolling 180 days.

If you want to live in Benidorm permanently you will need to apply for a non lucrative visa and meet the income and healthcare requirements. The income requirements for a single person would be around €27,000 per annum and full private healthcare.

I would say that the nearest supermarket to Villamar for your "Big Shop" will be Masymas in Benidorm (opposite the Showboat21)

You can also catch the number 2 bus and get to Carrefour for €1.55.

The OP would catch the bus just outside of the casino on Ave Mediterraneo. 

€20 each way in a taxi makes for a big bill
