Best beach town????
 

Help! A friend and I want to get a way to the spanish coast for a week. I need help deciding where to go.
I guess the number one priority would be a beautiful beach with lots of water sports and activities.
Thank you!

Spain has a long coast line and a lot of beach. Are you looking for a spa, a club Med, or something a little more common place and natural? Also, when are you planning on "hitting the beach"? It makes a difference.

Sitges or San Sebastian. Sitges is the more "gay," "artsy" of the two. (Think Fire Island, sweetie.)

Thank you for the info.
I am looking for white sandy coast line. I'm not interested in large crowded resorts nor the Club Med style vacation.
Thingorjus.... Where is Fire Island?

White sandy beaches? There are a number of great beaches from the northern Mediterranean coast south of Perpignan (France) to the Cape of Tortosa, south of Tarragona, and further south past Valéncia. The beaches along the Costa del Sol are also fine, except many of them are not white sandy beaches and tend, in a lot of cases, to be nothing more than a strip of sand between the water and highway.

The resort beaches located between Biarritz and San Sebastian-Donostia are nice, clean and nearly white, but really more of a sand color, a little more earth-toned. There is also a great beach area at Laida, across from the surfing area of Mundaka, at the mouth of the Gernika river as it meets the Gulf of Vizcaya in the Basque Country. It is a wide expanse of beach covering several square kilometers. Most of the other beaches between San Sebastian and Getxo tend to be smaller strips of sand between sometimes towering rock outcroppings. The crowds here are smaller than in other locations around Spain and there are no "club Meds" to be found.

Mojacar in the province of Almeria.
