Best Beaches in Spain

1. Sitges (Barcelona, Catalonia)

Not just because I lived there for many years… Sitges just has the right combination of a lovely beach, a beautiful town, great nightlife and the most liberal people in Spain. Don’t forget to visit the smaller beach behind the church: San Sebastian.

2. Tamariu (Costa Brava, Catalonia)

The most beautiful beaches in Catalonia. The Costa Brava was and is a perfect vacation spot. Lots of people from Barcelona have their vacation home here. Some excellent beaches to point out:

Sa Tuna and Aiguafreda
Tamariu and Aiguablava
Calella de Palafrugell

3. Los Caños de Meca (Barbate, Andalucia)

Lots of construction in the past years, but still one of my favorites in Andalucia. Also some nice ones along the coast to Zahara de los Atunes.

4. Chiclana de la Frontera (Cádiz, Andalucia)

One of the nicest areas in all of Spain: the coast from Cádiz to Tarifa with its nice white washed villages. Several beautiful beaches: La Barrosa in Chiclana is a favorite one, but there are many others in Conil or Barbate (see above).

5. Matalascañas (Almonte, Andalucia)

Right next to the Parque Nacional de Doñana, Matalascañas has seen many famous visitors. It’s also next to El Rocío – the craziest fiesta in Spain (Pentecost).

6. San Sebastian (Basque Country)
