Spain has many beaches, so choosing 5 is never going to be to everyone's taste. Do you have another tip for us? Please let us know.  

1. Playa Cala Salada Ibiza | One of the most legendary beaches on the party island. The small beach close to San Antonio is perfect for enjoying a sunset before going out dancing.

2. Playa de Cabopino Marbella | One of Marbella's best-kept secrets, a clean sea, beautiful sandy beaches (with a nudist strip) a marina and many nice terraces and good food restaurants. 

3. La Malagueta Malaga | A cozy city beach with palm trees and chiringuitos (beach bars), perfect for sunbathing, a walk in the cruise port, a drink in Hardrock Cafe, eating, shopping and dancing.
 

4. Playa de Ses Illetes Formentera | Soft white sand and clear turquoise seawater in a paradise setting. It's like you are in the Caribbean, but it's really located in the Mediterranean Sea. 

5. Playa de la Carihuela Torrimolinos |The longest beach in the gay capital of Southern Europe. One of the few places on the Costa del Sol with an all year-long beach life. Even in the winter, alive and kicking.    

And one more extra for surfers

Playa de As Furnas a Coruna | A Surfers Paradise in the north of Spain. Jagged rock formations and wind that can really push the waves. Even the drive to the beach is an adventure.
