The most beautiful beach in Spain is in a pretty little seaside town
Spain's best beach is located on the country's beautiful lesser-known Costa Brava coast.
Spain’s beaches are legendary and over 15 million British tourists travel to the country every year, many of whom spend most of their time at the beach.
But where are the country’s best beaches?
While Spain’s Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are perhaps the country’s best-known holiday destinations, another coastline is home to its best beach.
A new study from James Smith at Learn Spanish with James has found the country’s most beautiful beach based on Instagram hashtags.
According to new research, Calella de Palafrugell on Spain’s Costa Brava is the best beach in Spain.
Calella de Palafrugell
Playa de Calella is located in the pretty seaside town of Calella de Palafrugell which is known for its gorgeous natural beauty.
The town is just an hour and a half’s drive from Barcelona, making it the perfect destination for Britons who want to combine a beach holiday with a city break.
Playa de Calella is a tranquil cove with sparkling water and it’s located along a popular coastal path.

A tourist ‘Phil D’ wrote on Tripadvisor: “Fab beach and the sea is so clear and clean, it’s amazing. Beach is tiny stones so there is no sand to get everywhere and it is easy to walk on.”
‘Claireandmark2016’ said: “We travelled in mid October and had glorious sunshine daily. It’s an ideal spot for sea swimmers.”
Due to its coastal location, Calella de Palafrugell is one of Spain’s best destinations to sample seafood delicacies.
