Perhaps Spain's most notable coast, Costa Brava attracts millions of tourists. They return year after year, enticed by its miles of white sandy beaches, warm clear waters and vibrant mix of old charm and modern convenience that simply appeals to everyone. Sophisticated and lively beach towns are complimented by quaint country villages and a whole host of activities and attractions ensure that a holiday in Costa Brava is never dull.
Holiday on the beaches of Costa Brava
With some 100km of perfect white shoreline and invitingly warm water, Costa Brava's coastline is definitely a major attraction for a relaxing holiday. Many of the beaches have a blue flag status and can be enjoyed safely by all the family. Valencia, which receives a tempting 2600 hours of sunshine per year, has a beach which is particularly good for both water-skiing and sailing. North of Valencia the beaches have become fashionable amongst young people, and are water sport hotspots, with snorkelling, scuba diving and kayaking all popular activities. South of Valencia, the beaches are quieter, yet still beautiful and are more suited to relaxation and sunbathing on a Costa Brava holiday. Should neither of these options appeal there is of course always the beach at Benidorm with a healthy mix of water sports, sunbathing and beach games to suit all.
