The Dove Park (Parc d Elx) can be found near to the harbor area of Poniente beach in the Old Town. This a small shaded park with palm trees and plenty of places to sit to admire the views of the beach and Peacock Island. There is also a fountain covered in white doves and pigeons. It is possible to purchase seed and the birds are often seen feeding from the hands of children or perched on the arms of visitors. Despite the number of birds that visit each day, the park is very clean due to the daily cleaning regime of the council.

At night the fountain is illuminated with dancing lights and is surrounded by street entertainers, musicians and stalls selling jewellery, pottery, souvenirs, toys, bags and so on. Near to the Dove Park there is a promenade with lots of palm trees, bars, restaurants and hotels, an outside gym, a children's pirate ship, swings and a slide.

Other attractions of the Old Town include independent boutiques, gift and souvenir shops, Tapas Alley, The Marina (Maritime Cultural Centre, boat trips and water sports), Cala Del Mal Pas Beach, The L`Hort de Colon Museum (19th century house), Parque de L'Alguiera (traditional bullring and two amphitheaters) and the Balco del Mediterrani (viewing platform and Saint James church). We would definitely recommend a visit if exploring the Old Town of Benidorm.
