4 Stunning Beaches in Spain You Should Definitely Not Miss
Anyone who is looking to enjoy top-level beach holidays should not miss out on the wonderful offerings that Spain’s Mediterranean coastline has to offer, which include some of the world’s best stretches of sand. Spain is not only home to stunning coastline, but its delicious traditional tapas food and excellent wines, along with magnificent bar, club, art, and history scenes, provides a whole host of variety for visitors to the country. If you’re considering planning your beach getaway to Spain and are wondering what beaches are the ones you won’t want to miss, then here are four of Spain’s absolute best.
1. Cala Salada Beach, Ibiza
Ibiza is not only known for its gorgeous sand and azure waters but it also has a vibrant nightlife to match, with a number of local clubs that regularly host some of the world’s most famous artists, producers, and DJs. For the ultimate beach experience on the island of Ibiza, make your way to Cala Salada Beach. This small bay is surrounded by pine-forested hills, and features a number of rocky outcrops that are perfect for jumping from into the bay’s beautiful waters.
2. Playa de Las Americas, Tenerife
Tenerife has long been known as one of the world’s great beach destinations, but it also features a number of other outdoor activities, including hiking in Teide National Park, and enjoying the view of Los Gigantes cliffs. Playa de las Americas, however, is still the major attraction of the island, as it offers classically stylish and wide stretch of sand, and features a variety of great nightlife spots and restaurants just a short walk from the shore.
3. Platja de Morer, Catalonia
Located in the northern reaches of the town of Sant Pol de Mar, Platja de Morer is not just one of Catalonia’s best, but one of the best in all of Spain. The beach is backed by cliffs and lush foliage, and lies just a short walk from the Roman ruins of Morer, where Spanish wine was produced for the Roman Empire during the 1stcentury AD.
4. Bolonia, Cadiz
Lying just up-coast from the town of Tarifa, Bolonia is an isolated beach that will suit anyone who’s after a serious break from the major crowds. The beach might not have a through-road access, but it does have a fine juice bar, a restaurant serving freshly caught seafood, and a scattering of Roman ruins. If you’re a fan of wind and water-sports, then this beach is an absolute must, as it features windsurfing and kite-boarding opportunities.
Wherever you decide to head on your Spanish beach holiday, you’re bound to find a patch of sand with your name on it.
