Time To Get Your Tan On!

Planning a trip to Spain with friends or family or solo? Spain will surely surprise you with all the things that you can do in the country, like watching a football match, going skydiving, or just chilling at the beach; the options are limitless. But, if the last option does sound tempting, then that is exactly what we are going to talk about!

Which Are The Best Beaches In Spain?

There are many top beaches in Spain, but choosing the right one becomes a task for anyone, so we have listed the 16 best beaches in Spain that you can visit during your visit to the beautiful country! Without further ado, let's dive into the list of the best beaches in Spain!

Best beaches in Spain

1. Cala Pregonda, Menorca

Located just a 40-minute drive from Menorca lies one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain called Cala Pregonda! This lovely cove is surrounded by various islets that protect the coast from waves, so if you are looking for a place to relax with calm waters, then Cala Pregonda is the place you need to go to!

2. Cala Fornells, Mallorca

If you are visiting Mallorca, then you need to visit Cala Fornells in the Balearic islands! Imagine crystal clear waters splashing against the soft white sand of the coast with lush flora surrounding the area and beautiful views everywhere you look; that is Cala Fornells; it is simply not only one of the best beaches in Mallorca but also one of the best beaches in Spain easily! All you need to do is take a 30-minute drive from Mallorca to reach this lovely place!

3. Playa de Ondarreta, San Sebastián 

Ondarreta is one of the three beaches that make up the Bay of La Concha (Bahía de La Concha). To reach this place, all you need to do is walk to the west in a small tunnel from Playa de La Concha to reach one of the best coasts in Spain. You will also find various activities to take part in here, like watersports or visiting the many Michelin-starred restaurants or the iron sculpture made by Eduardo Chillida that is constantly washed by the waves. If you are with family, then you need to visit Playa de Ondarreta since it is easily one of the best beaches in Spain for families! 

4. Cala Agulla, Mallorca

The next mention we have on our list of the top beaches in Spain is the lovely Cala Agulla, located on the Balearic Island of Mallorca! If you are looking to enjoy your time on golden sand with rich trees and mountains as a background, then Cala Agulla is the place just for you. To get to this exotic coast, you will need to drive down from Mallorca, and the best part is that Cala Fornells is also close by, making Cala Agulla one of the best coasts in Spain!

5. Praia de Lumebó, Galicia

Reaching Praia de Lumebó is not an easy task, as you will have to walk down a tricky, narrow path, but it is definitely worth it once you reach the place since not many people visit this beach due to the tricky walk! Once you reach one of the best coasts in Spain, you will find a giant rock smack dab in the middle of the beach with golden sand everywhere. Praia de Lumebó is the place where you go to forget all about the problems in your life and just soak yourself in the clear waters while enjoying the best sunset on the Galician coast. 

Visiting beaches is one of the many things to do, but if you are looking for more activities and fun things, then this Things to Do in Spain guide will surely help you with that!

6. Playa De Silencio, Asturias

Playa De Silencio means the Beach of Silence! It sounds spooky, right? Well, it actually isn't; it is actually a beautiful shoreline that has been declared a monument as this beautiful beach in Spain is adorned by silver sand and various rock formations that make taking a dip in the water very unsafe. Still, you can surely have a walk down or bask in the sunlight at the Beach of Silence in Asturias with mountains around you!

Sun, sand, and student comfort await! Secure your choice of student accommodation with us.
