This place on the Spanish coast is one of the best, with powerful waves that make it a great spot for having fun. Unfortunately, it may not be the best choice for families with children, but it does have the bonus of having beautiful brown sand.

Real gem - the white sand is gorgeous and it's the best in the vicinity. Not only that, but there are plenty of eateries around to grab a bite or a drink. I'm definitely giving this beach a big thumbs up - it's a real pleasure to visit. In my opinion, it's definitely one of the top beaches around.

Alcocéber is a fabulous spot for a getaway. The beaches are simply sublime and the town itself is quite special - no towering high rises, just small buildings in harmony with the surrounding mountains and sea. The restaurants are also excellent, making this a truly fantastic holiday destination.
