From the wild Atlantic to the most intimate coves of the Mediterranean, this country offers a collection of beaches that rival any tropical destination.
Below, we show you the must-see beaches that you should mark on your map this summer. Get ready to discover the Spanish coastline like never before.
- Ses Illetes beach (Formentera, Balearic Islands)
A classic that continues to reign year after year. Its turquoise waters, white sand and almost Caribbean atmosphere make it one of the most photogenic beaches in Europe. In addition, its location in the Natural Park of Ses Salines guarantees an experience in full harmony with nature.
Recommendation: Arrive early and rent a bike to tour the island at the slow pace that characterizes Formentera.
- Bolonia Beach (Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain)
Virgin, wild and with history. Bolonia is much more than a paradise of white sand: here coexist the ocean, the dunes and the Roman remains of Baelo Claudia. An ideal enclave for those seeking reconnection with nature and moments of contemplation between sunbathing and ancient culture.
- Cala Macarella and Macarelleta (Menorca, Balearic Islands)
The perfect duo for lovers of intense blue and pine-covered cliffs. These coves seem to be extracted from a postcard of paradise, and their regulated access preserves that exclusive charm that is so appreciated.
Recommendation: Walk along the Camí de Cavalls to get there on foot and enjoy the landscape as the ancient Menorcans did.
- Los Genoveses beach (Almeria, Andalusia).
In the heart of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, this beach is an ode to the purest Mediterranean. No buildings, no crowds, no filters. Only sand, wind and horizon. A sensory experience in its raw state.
Recommendation: There are no beach bars or stores. Take everything you need and, above all, take everything with you when you leave.
- Carnota Beach (A Coruña, Galicia)
With more than 7 kilometers of white sand and rough sea, Carnota is the longest beach in Galicia and one of the great treasures of the Atlantic coast. Perfect for long walks, wild photographs and that kind of silence that only the north knows how to offer.
- Cala Pola (Tossa de Mar, Girona)
Welcome to the best kept corner of the Costa Brava. Cala Pola is small, intimate and simply spectacular. Surrounded by cliffs covered with pine trees and with crystal clear waters that invite snorkeling, it is the best beach in Catalonia for those who prioritize natural beauty without sacrificing minimum services.
Recommendation: Walk along the Camí de Ronda from Tossa de Mar. Views, fresh air and happy ending guaranteed.
Whether you prefer the absolute calm of an unspoiled cove on the Costa Brava, or the energy and tradition of an Andalusian beach with history, Spain has the ideal destination for your summer.
