Stretching over 200km, Costa Brava delights with numerous spectacular beaches, perfectly framed by the azure shades of the Mediterranean Sea and the earth-colored rocky formations. Spain is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, and if I were to go by my own opinion, I would say it’s at the top of the list. The coastal area, especially Costa Brava, only reinforces these views.

ToggleThe starting point of Costa Brava is the town of Blanes, a former fishing village located about 70km from Barcelona. If you’re wondering how to get from Barcelona to Costa Brava, the answer is by train. Although my recommendation for exploring the coastal area is to rent a car, in its absence, the train remains a very fast and convenient option to travel from Barcelona to Costa Brava, as well as between the resorts on the coast.
Costa Brava extends up to almost the French border, to the town of Portbou, meaning there are plenty of places to explore. For this, I have prepared a separate article on the most beautiful towns and resorts in Costa Brava. Below, you’ll find a guide to the most beautiful beaches in Costa Brava.

Illa Roja Beach is located in Begur and is one of the most photographed beaches on Costa Brava. It is very popular among tourists due to its captivating landscape, composed of high red-hued cliffs, fine golden sand, and Mediterranean vegetation.
