12 Best Beach Holiday Destinations in Spain !! Beach Holidays in Spain
Best 12 Beach Holiday Destinations in Spain
Surrounded by the Balearic Sea, the Bay of Biscay and the Alboran Sea, Spain is an obvious choice for beach vacations. The country boasts miles of stunning coastlines, not to mention a few Spanish-governed islands. Whether you’re looking for secluded beaches, vibrant culture or unforgettable views, Spain has it all.
12. Nerja
A few miles away from the bustling beaches of Malaga on the Costa del Sol is Nerja, a charming coastal destination located at the foothills of the Sierra Almijara Mountain Range. Once a traditional fishing village, Nerja has grown to be top tourist destination in Spain, but it retains an authentic Spanish atmosphere. For spectacular views over the water, head to Nerja’s Balcony of Europe, where you can look down at the sea at the site of an ancient castle.
11. Sitges
Along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea is Sitges, a seaside resort that is within a short drive of Barcelona. Many city residents flock to Sitges for a day in the sun, but it is a worthy vacation spot in its own right. Along the coastline called the Costa Dorada, Sitges boasts a whopping 17 beaches. What makes Sitges so appealing to so many is that the beaches vary so much.
10. Santander
In Northern Spain, on a stretch of coastline called the Costa de Cantabria, is the city of Santander. Although it boasts a historic city center and the Magdalena Palace, which was once the summer residence of the Spanish king, Santander is best known for its beaches. Playa de la Magdalena, or Magdalena Beach, is just one example of a popular local swimming spot.
9. Costa Brava
North of Barcelona, and close to the border with France, is the coastal region known as the Costa Brava. Here, you can find a number of seaside resorts, quaint fishing villages and major coastal resorts. If you’re looking for lots of scenery and a very traditional Spanish beach destination, Tossa de Mar is ideal.
8. Benidorm
On the stretch of coastline called Costa Blanca, you’ll find the busy resort of Benidorm. Popular with expats as well as tourists from around Europe, Benidorm is a bustling destination with countless hotels, shopping malls and amenities. Of course, its beautiful beaches are still also a major draw. There are two major beaches in Benidorm: Levante and Poniente.
7. Corralejo
Corralejo is a beach-town on the northern tip of Fuerteventura, the second largest of the Canary Islands. The island has many beautiful beaches, and it is widely recognized as a favorite destination for watersports enthusiasts. That’s because, in part, of regular winds that improve conditions for things like sailing, surfing and windsurfing.
6. Marbella
Marbella in the Costa el Sol was once a tiny fishing village with just a few hundred residents. Today, it is one of the best known beach destinations on the planet. The Old Town and Orange Square are full of historic architecture, but the real attraction is the warm weather, the gorgeous beaches and the nightlife.
5. Tenerife
The largest of the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa is Tenerife. Visitors flock there throughout the year to enjoy the warm weather, the world-class nightlife and the exceptional beaches. While there are plenty of opportunities to kick back on the beaches with a cold drink,
4. Tarifa
On the southernmost tip of Spain, along the Costa de la Luz, is a small town known as Tarifa. The beaches are phenomenal in their own right, but what makes Tarifa particularly special is that you can see across the Strait of Gibraltar all the way to Africa from the coastline. If you’re interested in beach sports, then make your way to the beach called Los Lances.
3. Ibiza
The Balearic Island known for its nonstop nightlife is Ibiza. While the island undeniably comes alive at night, days at the beach are still an appealing option for many visitors. If you visit Ibiza, be sure to check out Cala Salada in the San Antonio region of Ibiza.
2. Maspalomas
Gran Canaria is one of the most popular of the Canary Islands located off the coast of the Western Sahara in Africa. The Spanish island has plenty of appealing vacation spots, but one of the best is undoubtedly Maspalomas. Striking sand dunes and a bright blue sea make Maspalomas a visually appealing getaway destination. Maspalomas is divided into four areas.
1. Majorca
Of the Spanish Balearic Islands, Majorca is the largest. Boasting countless white-sand beaches and clear water, Majorca is a fantastic spot for a beach getaway. Magaluf Beach is one of the most popular on the island, and an attractive promenade lines the sand and offers dining, souvenir shopping and nightlife.

Portbou Beach, Spain
Portbou beach is right next to the French border in northern Spain. Went on a boat trip here from Argelés Sur Mer, France.
We got kicked out of the camping! | First day of Camino del Norte
Our first official day started at 9 am when we were woken up by the people and cars moving around in the camping that we found the night before. We slept only for 5 hours, still tired from the yesterday nightmare, but we had nothing to do but start walking and walk at least several kms. Because even though we didn't have a plan to rush we still wanted to be moving everyday and getting closer to our goal. So we got up and tried to pack everything up very quick and went to find a place to cook breakfast and eat it. Finally it was time to eat smth for us! Cause yesterday we didn't have time nor powers to make it happen. So we started walking and saw the ocean for the first time cause yesterday night we just heard it and it was even scary for us being dark and noisy. It was a beautiful moment and it's obviously very hard to evaluate it's extents and measures but we could feel that it was different, different from any sea that we've ever seen before. You could tell it just from the look and the sound of it, it's huge massive waves and tasty smell. What appeared to be scary yesterday today was very attractive...

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.
