British Man in Benidorm Warns Tourists About a Bad Choice

A British man living in Benidorm is warning tourists about a bad choice they might make.

The man, Harry Poulton, has lived in Benidorm for several years and made a video on TikTok about the mistake. He said tourists should avoid one part of the area because it is a 'complete and utter rip off'.

Harry stood on the beach and pointed to a small island about 2.2 miles away. He said, 'I know it's a big statement, but it's a waste of money.' He asked if he was wrong to think the island is a bad choice.

The island is called Peacock Island or Benidorm Island. Harry said tourists have to pay to go there by boat, and when they arrive, they will find there is almost nothing to do.

Harry said he doesn't know why the island is called Peacock Island because there are no peacocks. The last time he went, he saw pigeons, seagulls, and their waste.

The only thing on the island is a cafe that is too expensive. Tourists are stuck there until the next boat comes to pick them up.

Harry doesn't think going to the island is a good idea. He said it's something you might do once, but not again.

Harry won't go back to the island because the boat ride is rough and the cafe is too expensive.

Harry understands why the cafe is expensive, but he thinks there are better things to do in Benidorm. You can see seagulls on the beach for free.

One person on TikTok agreed with Harry and said to only go to the island once for the views and the boat trip.

Another person said the boat trip was nice and reasonably priced, but there wasn't much to do on the island.

A third person said they agree with Harry and won't go back to the island. They said the best part was the boat trip.

On TripAdvisor, the island has a score of 3.7 out of 5 after more than 1,500 reviews.

One recent review said the person enjoyed their visit to the island and got to see fish on a submarine tour.

The reviewer hiked to the top of the island, enjoyed the view, and had a cold beer at the cafe before leaving.

They said it was a nice experience, but Harry still thinks tourists should avoid the island.
