Enjoy the coast in spring

As Easter approaches, the coasts of Spain and Portugal begin to awaken from their winter slumber, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for enjoying the beauty of the sea and ocean before the hustle and bustle of summer.

In this post we’d like to highlight five great beaches to visit during Easter:

1. Bolonia Beach, in Tarifa

With its impressive sand dunes and views of the Strait of Gibraltar, Bolonia Beach is a perfect place to enjoy spring on the Andalusian coast. The water may be a bit chilly, but the natural surroundings and the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia make the visit worthwhile.

2. Praia da Marinha, in Lagoa

Praia da Marinha, located in the Portuguese Algarve, is a golden sandy beach surrounded by imposing limestone cliffs. It is an ideal place for snorkeling and exploring the numerous caves and rock formations found in its crystal-clear waters.

3. La Concha Beach, in San Sebastián

The iconic La Concha Beach is a perfect destination for an Easter getaway. Its calm waters and wide expanse of sand make it an ideal place to enjoy walks by the sea and relax on its cafés and restaurants overlooking the bay.

4. Cofete Beach, in Fuerteventura

This remote and wild beach located on the Jandía Peninsula offers a spectacular volcanic landscape and kilometers of golden sand. Although not a beach for swimming due to its strong currents, Cofete Beach is perfect for those looking to enjoy a natural environment and escape the crowds.

5. Praia do Carvoeiro, in Lagoa

Another gem of the Portuguese Algarve, Praia do Carvoeiro is a picturesque sandy beach surrounded by colorful cliffs and traditional houses. It’s an ideal place to enjoy a relaxed and cozy atmosphere during Easter, with numerous restaurants and cafés in its surroundings.

Spring is a perfect time for those looking for peaceful getaways to enjoy the beauty of the coast without the crowds of the summer season.
