Top Beaches in Spain

I think exploring the local area is a must. Just a short walk from the beach, you’ll find charming little shops and cafés that are worth checking out.

I suggest visiting Sardinero during the early morning. The beach is less crowded, and the sunrise views are stunning.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks to save money. The beachside cafes can get pricey, especially during peak hours

I recommend bringing some snacks or a picnic – the beach bars can get pricey, and a little food from home is a smart way to save cash. Trust me, those beach chairs won't be the only thing draining your wallet!

I think you should check the weather before you go. Sometimes the winds can pick up in the afternoon, making it less enjoyable. The calm mornings are definitely the best!

Hit up the nearby supermarket for drinks and snacks before hitting the beach. It's way cheaper than buying from the beach bars.

Watch out for those beach vendors; they can get a bit pushy. Just smile and say 'no gracias' if you’re not interested.

I suggest trying out the local tapas at the beachside restaurants. Way tastier than tourist traps and usually cheaper, too!

If you’re in for some fun, rent paddleboards around 2 PM when the crowds thin out a bit. It's a great way to explore without too many people around.

Try to go on a weekday instead of the weekend if you can. It’s way less crowded and you’ll have a much more relaxing experience.

Definitely bring some cash! A few local vendors only accept cash, and I almost missed out on some mouth-watering beach snacks because I didn’t have any.

I recommend you hit the beach by 9 AM to snag a good spot. By noon, it gets pretty packed, and finding a sunbed can take ages!

I found the public restrooms a bit dirty. It’s best to bring some hygiene supplies with you, just in case you can't find something clean when you need it.

Don't miss out on the sunset at Playa de las Americas. Bring a blanket and some drinks, it's absolutely breathtaking! Just don't forget to get there by 6 PM to snag a good spot!

If you're into surfing, check out Playa de la LaTejita. The waves are great and there's less crowd compared to other spots, plus it's free! Just be careful with your stuff, as I had my towel 'borrowed' once.

I recommend visiting Playa de las Teresitas early in the morning, around 8 AM. The golden sand and calm waters are perfect for a chill beach day before the tourists arrive.

If you want to get great surf lessons, look for local schools rather than big brands... I got a fantastic deal with a small surf shop that wasn't on the main tourist radar - way more personalized!

I think the sunsets at Somo Beach are stunning, so don’t miss them! Settle down by 8 PM with a drink and just enjoy the view. It's a perfect way to wind down your day.

I recommend packing a picnic instead of buying food at the beach. The beach bars can be pricey, but the nearby supermarket has some great stuff for a beach lunch!

My advice is to rent a surfboard early in the day... The shops get busy, and I ended up waiting way too long just to grab one

Bring some snacks and drinks! The beach does have a couple of nearby cafes, but they can be pricey. I think packing a picnic will save you some cash and let you enjoy the view longer.

I recommend checking the weather the day before you go. It suddenly got cloudy when I visited, and I missed some great sunshine. Better to be prepared than to be disappointed!

If you’re into water sports, I think you should check out the rental options on the eastern side of the beach. Prices are usually lower there compared to the more popular spots

I remember overpaying at one of the beachside cafés. Try to venture a little further back from the beach for a meal. There are lovely local places with way better prices and atmosphere.

Definitely check out the beach bars around lunchtime. I recommend trying the paella; it's fresh and not too pricey. Just avoid the tourist traps right on the sand if you want to save some cash!

Don’t forget to explore beyond the beach! I suggest taking a short walk to the nearby promenade. It’s nice to stroll, and there are some cute shops and less crowded bars to chill in.
