The
Best Beaches In Costa Brava by Daniel Eyre
We're now in peak booking
season, and as usual one of our big sellers are our Costa Brava holiday
packages. What attracts such big numbers of tourists to Spain's 'Wild Coast'
every year? Sun, Sand and Sangria - along with the great range of Costa
Brava's cheap hotels. With a coastline stretching all the way down from
the French border to Barcelona, there's quite a few Costa Brava beaches
clamouring for your attention - so which are the most worthy?
Well, a good start for narrowing
the list down is to look exclusively at EU Blue Flag winning beaches in
Costa Brava. The Blue Flag is only granted to beaches that meet 29 criteria
for excellence, with everything from cleanliness, to water quality, to
the quantity of lifeguards come under scrutiny, ensuring that the Blue
Flag really is a sign of quality. To give you an idea of the quality of
the region, Costa Brava has the largest concentration of Blue Flag awarded
beaches in Spain - no wonder it's popular, though it does make my task
of narrowing down the best that bit more difficult!
Gandia
Nobody knows a region better
than the locals, and that is why you can safely say Gandia is one of the
finest beaches in Costa Brava - there are hardly any tourists there. This
one is purely popular with the locals, and that alone should make you consider
visiting this Costa Brava holiday gem! The beach itself is enormous, with
fine white sands stretching off into the distance - and if you tire of
this, the restaurants and cafes nearby make a delicious change of pace.
Aigua Blava
Aigua Blava is tranquil and
calm - perfect for a break away from the clubs and bustling towns. The
waters are clean, relaxing and calm, and wash peacefully over the golden
sands. This Costa Brava beach is the smallest listed here, which provides
a charming intimate feel allowing you really to feel like you're getting
away from it all on your Costa Brava holiday.
Tamariu
Slightly larger than Aigua
Blava is Tamariu - the little cove is a short hike across picturesque cliff
tops, and well worth the slight effort of finding on your Costa Brava holiday.
The sand is fine, the water is clear and the nearby amenities are top notch,
with welcoming restaurants and charming boutiques lining the promenade
ensuring a break from the relaxation is never far away, for those strange
enough to want it!
Llafanc
Llafranc, while larger than
the previous two Costa Brava beaches listed, is still small enough to feel
cosy. The port is picturesque, there's plenty of space for children to
play, and the sands are perfect for relaxation and working on your tan
in the brilliant sunshine. As seems compulsory for blue flag Costa Brava
beaches, you can be sure to find many fine restaurants along the promenade
meaning that what started out as a 'couple of hours sunbathing' can easily
extend into the evening - only ended when hunger pangs draw you to one
of the nearby restaurants or cocktail bars, as the daylight draws to a
close.
This is just a smattering
of the many fine beaches along the Costa Brava, and as long as the beach
is blue flag listed, you can be sure of quality. While the best time to
visit the region is May-June (before the crowds) or September-October (after
the crowds), the beauty of the amount of quality beaches is that if you
find one too crowded, you can always head to the next one and still be
assured of a relaxing day out.
