Beaches Costa Brava Guide

The Costa Brava is located in the Northern part of Spain, on the Mediterranean. The Costa Brava is located in Catalonia, and contains 160 Km of coastline, including that which borders the city of Barcelona. The beaches of Costa Brava are characterized by their ruggedness and true Spanish character.

The city of Barcelona is home to some beautiful beaches, and a recent project to clean and improve the beaches has made them better than ever. Barcelona's main beaches include the popular Santa Sebastia beach; with its crowded party atmosphere and the blue flagged La Nova Icaria, along with many others. Barcelona is a great city in which to take a beach holiday.

Once a small fishing village, the resort town of Blanes, on the Costa Brava is one of the most visited areas in the Costa Brava. While the beaches here are gorgeous and fully resourced with food and fun, they can be quite crowded during the tourist season. The beaches of Blane include Sabanel beach, the Playa de Blanes beach and many others, all nearly equally popular.

Popular with British families and partiers alike, the area of Lloret de Mar has family friendly calm waters and smooth-sand beaches. Lloret de Mar is also home to the world's largest water park, and several other theme parks to keep the kids entertained. Lloret de Mar is also a party destination, with numerous clubs and concert venues.

The Costa Brava has beaches for everyone, and beauty enough to keep even the most jaded tourist entertained for days. It is no wonder this is one of Europe's top vacation destinations year after year.
