Amazing Beachfront Property and Real Estate in Spain

Beautiful Spanish ocean view.
Blue skies, golden sunshine, and gorgeous properties all combine to create the perfect setting for beachfront real estate in Spain.

Learn more about Spain beachfront in IL Postcards.

Without beachfront property, the foreign real estate market would barely exist in Spain.  Europeans flock to Spain's beaches from every country afflicted by a cold winter. While the popular beaches of Spain boast ridiculous prices, there are still a number of less-discovered Costas where you can find a little piece of beachfront property to call your own.

Beachfront Property on the Costa Brava

Beautiful Spanish coastline.
The Spanish coastline is one of the most magnificient in Europe.

Wedged between the snow-capped Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, the picture-book province of Catalunya boasts Spain's most spectacular coastal scenery-the Costa Brava.  Although not virgin territory, Catalunya usually gets overlooked in the stampede to the southern Costas. Few people stumble across the exquisite harbor villages around Cap de Begur. Llafranc, Aguia Blava, Sa Tuna, Tamariu-all are unsullied by mass tourism. Tucked inside coves of rosy pink rocks, they're the Costa Brava's hidden gems. Gold, green, and turquoise…the seascapes are absolutely gorgeous. Brightly colored boats pack miniature harbors, beaches form perfect golden crescents, and the aquamarine waters are crystal-clear. Llafranc and Tamariu are intimate harbor villages with small clusters of whitewashed residencia apartments climbing the pine-clad hills. Both have golden arcs of sandy beach, tree-shaded promenades dotted with terraced cafés, and coastal paths.

Beachfront Property on The Costa del Sol
For Europeans, the Costa del Sol is the most popular part of the Spanish coastline to buy, rent, or invest in beach real estate. There's no getting away from the fact that the Costa del Sol is overbuilt- and much of it is overpriced too. Location is everything here. Whether it's beachfront or in the foothills, there's a huge variation in prices. There's little point in shopping with less than $140,000. While you can find the odd small apartment for less, it'll be in older, undesirable concrete blocks-or hold as much space as a dollhouse. There are a phenomenal number of real estate agencies on the Costa del Sol.

Beachfront Real Estate on Andalucia's Alternative Coast-the Costa de la Luz
Fringing Cádiz and Huelva provinces, the Costa de la Luz is Andalucia's Atlantic coast. Divided from the Mediterranean by the Rock of Gibraltar, "The Coast of Light" has plenty going for it: 3,000 annual sunshine hours…over 125 miles of golden-white beaches…and an almost unbelievable clarity of light.

Beach Lots and Ocean View Properties on the Costa Blanca
Less commercialized than the Costa del Sol, the Costa Blanca (White Coast) is the second most popular choice for foreign buyers seeking retirement or holiday homes. The 132 mile-long coastline features over 60 miles of golden sandy beaches and coves. Set against a backdrop of wooded sierras that turn pink at sunset, most resorts are clean and well-kept. Studded with marinas, bars, cafés, and delectable seafood restaurants, its seafront promenades are perfect for long, leisurely strolls.
