5 of the Best Beaches in Andalucia.

1. La Caleta de Maro



La Caleta de Maro makes for a lovely example from this stretch of coast. Situated just next to the better known Cala de Maro beach, La Caleta de Maro is at least as beautiful and all the more so for being less populated. With soft sand, crystal clear water and a peaceful environment, the beach is perfect for relaxed contemplation. This is also a terrific place to sample the excellent snorkelling in this area, where fishing boats are not allowed.

2.Las Calas del Pino



Even more secluded than La Caleta de Maro, the beach at Las Calas del Pino is little known outside of local circles, perhaps partly due to the difficulty in seeing or accessing it from the road above. This one is definitely a nice option for the above mentioned yacht charter for ease of access, though you might not want to get back on the yacht once you find yourself on this isolated bit of paradise. At more than 350m long and framed in by rocky outcroppings, it feels even larger than it is thanks to the lack of crowds. If you can raise yourself from sunning in the sand, this is a terrific beach for snorkelling and exploring some of the adjacent caves and coves.
The nearby Playa Cantarrijan deserves mention here; however it is quite popular and in the summer months it is necessary to take a shuttle bus down to the beach. Still, with a relaxed clothing optional vibe (like many of the beaches here) and two large restaurant/bars, or “chiringuitos” right at the edge of the beach it is easy to pass the day away.
3. La Herradura

While the beach along the horseshoe-shaped cove at La Herradura is not as secluded as others along this bit of the coast, this list would be lacking without mention of La Herradura. Though still not particularly crowded, part of the appeal of this beach is exactly that it is so easily accessible and family friendly. You’ll find restaurants and facilities conveniently located, and it is a prime location for water sports where equipment can also be rented.

4.Monsul



Further to the east in Almeria Province, the nature park around Cabo de Gata is renowned for its beauty and wide stretches of idyllic beaches. You really can’t go wrong when seeking out a beach in this region, but Monsul beach is probably the most famous of these. This thanks in no small part to the numerous Hollywood scenes filmed on the beach – remember Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? The beach is so large that it never appears crowded despite its fame, and it feels timeless. Situated within designated park land there is little to remind you of contemporary life.

5.Bolonia



On the opposite side of Andalucia, on the Atlantic coast, it’s also hard to go wrong when choosing a beach. Surfers, including wind surfers and kite surfers love this entire coastline from Tarifa to the Portuguese border for the Atlantic easterlies. You’ll find them at the Bolonia beach as well, but this beach is big enough for everyone even though its popularity has been rising (the secret’s out!). It is also a popular beach with families as there are sun shades and loungers for hire along the central part of the beach, as well as a first aid point. There is so much fine sand on this huge arc of a beach that the dunes pile up to over 30 metres high on the north end of the beach and are said to be the largest in Europe.




Beautiful Island in French Polynesia, Bore Bora

Bora Bora, in French Polynesia, is a small island dotted with scenic villages and surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches and azure seas. Le Meridien Bora Bora is at the south of the island, and enjoys a spectacular view of the towering Otemanu Mountain.








Many people come to Bora Bora for rest and relaxation. Bora Bora can be said is the first choice for those who prefer to travel by sea air cool, calm and relaxation that it brings to the island do not match. Not only does owning a beautiful natural landscape that Bora Bora is famous for a lot of resorts and poetic beauty here.

Shark Feeding 


 At St Regis Bora Bora, a marine biologist gives great talks about sea life. These particular sharks do not bother humans... They live in an enclosed area at the resort. Several times a week, the tropical fish are fed so you can watch the sharks come out from the shadows. If you are lucky, the shark will "hunt" that day. 

Snorkeling 



On the beautiful island of Bora Bora some of the most amazing scenery lies beneath the surface of Bora Bora lagoon waiting to be discovered. The Bora Bora Lagoon is home to hundreds of dazzling tropical fish species. Everything is friendly. So you can relax and frolic as if you're in a huge heated pool.

Tahitan Dance



These dances were considered so sensuous, that they were banned by the missionaries in the 1800's! The restrictions by the French Administration were only removed in 1908. Tourism has now helped Tahiti culture revive its Polynesian dancing. The Tahitian dance costumes are colorful and creative. The dancers change costumes for each rhythmic dance, so you get to see amazing variety. The costumes are hand-made made from grass, palms, tropical flowers, mother of pearl, seas shells, feathers, and coconuts. Colorful skirts, belts, bras, jewelery and large headdresses are created.
