Andalusia knows about beautiful beaches and Seville can boast of having some of them very close. Five coasts bathe the more than 1,000 kilometers of coastline that comprises its territory, 122 blue flags and a good amount of oasis, crowded beaches of all life, virgin spaces, marshes, waterfalls, endless promenades and a sun that comes out with the rage of the Andalusian summer.
All in all, it reserves some of the best beaches in the whole country and many of them are only an hour or two away from Seville. And you don’t have to go very far. Just 200 kilometers away, Seville has within reach some of the most beautiful beaches in Andalusia. Attractive and unavoidable destinations year after year. Stock up on the basics and prepare a getaway to the best beaches near Seville.
1. Matalascañas, the closest beach to Seville.
Matalascañas summons thousands of visitors all year round, a good amount of Seville and Seville people in particular. The reasons do not escape anyone: its proximity (possibly the closest beach to Seville) and family atmosphere, a beach that seems not to end and succinct summer beach bars. Beyond these goodness, it also stands as a summer Eden wrapped in nature.
A curiosity for the most absent-minded: the Torre de la Higuera, fixed in the sea near the shore, welcomes visitors since the Lisbon tsunami in 1755.

2. Mazagón
The Costa de la Luz brings together a good number of beaches in the province of Huelva and Cadiz. Mazagón, vast in kilometers of beach, shows a fine golden sand between bushes and small baths. Among its benefits are a surprising amount of unspoiled and quiet spaces for those who seek unexplored haven of peace.
In the words of the prestigious National Geographic magazine Cuesta Maneli, between Mazagon and Matalascañas, is among the three best beaches in the country.

3. Chipiona
Chipiona is a prolific summer canvas, home to hundreds of Sevillians who make a seasonal pilgrimage to this busy seaside town. And no wonder. Along with its five beaches of fine white sand, it is worth adding an extensive gastronomic offer, the highest lighthouse in Europe or the Sanctuary Nuestra Señora de Regla, a few steps from the sea.

4. Sanlúcar de Barrameda
Sanlúcar de Barrameda champions several virtues. The proximity to the Coto de Doñana through a small boat, the beach Bajo de Guía, its flamenco roots and its link with the horse and gastronomy, which in no way detracts from the above.
Prawns, sorrels, sand potatoes, rice with duck or chamomile are inserted in the seductive gastronomic universe of Sanlúcar.

5. Valdelagrana (El Puerto de Santa María)
Valdelagrana belongs to El Puerto de Santa Maria and is one of the best beaches that Seville has in terms of proximity: it is just over an hour away. An authentic coastal paradise to which hundreds of bathers make a pilgrimage every summer, those who come on a day trip and those who stay overnight, extending their holiday preference in infinite days.
And it makes sense that they do. Valdelagrana is summed up in fine golden sand, clean waters and spacious beaches overlooking Cadiz. But this beach town is not short of goodness: a good amount of beach bars, a quiet promenade and the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de los Milagros, a heritage surprise for those who pursue endless leisure and cultural options in their summer.

6. Bolonia, the best beach in Spain
Bolonia is an oasis of dunes that belongs to the natural park of the Strait, where cows star in an idyllic picture a few steps from the sea. Prowling among the sand and the landscape dotted with pine forests make up a picture difficult to replicate. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain, if not the best, just 207 kilometers from Seville.
To all this must be added the beauty of its crystal clear beach and the ruins of Baelo Claudia, Roman city witness of the history that presides over this summer spot. By the way, we recommend this guide to travel a weekend camper in the province of Cadiz.
