In this life there are many ways to fall in love. One of them is by sight, by what we see from the first second. The same thing happens with beaches, as we rarely want to visit a place that hasn’t convinced us with a photo.
The beaches you’ll see below will seduce anyone, more than anything else for their turquoise waters. They boast simply stunning colour combinations that make you want to take a dip, so any travel agent in the area doesn’t have to try too hard to convince you.
Macarelleta Cove (Menorca)
Located right next to Cala Macarella, which is supposed to be the mother cove, Cala Macarelleta is one of the coves you must visit when you travel to Minorca. Accessing it is not at all complicated, as you can do so by following the CamĂ de Cavalls towards Cala Turqueta, which is another turquoise paradise (its name makes it clear) that you shouldn’t miss if you have time. It is a small, unspoilt sandy beach, where nudism is quite common and where it can be very difficult to lay your towel in July and August.

Bolonia Beach (Cadiz)
The people of CĂĄdiz are fortunate to have the beach of Bolonia, which has the ability to attract our gaze both to its dunes and its waters, which are a beautiful turquoise colour. It is one of the few unspoilt beaches that remain in the south of Spain, an oasis located in the heart of the Estrecho Nature Reserve, with a four-kilometre stretch that is well worth a leisurely stroll.

Calblanque Beach (Murcia)
We know how they do it in La Manga del Mar Menor, a spectacular area that sometimes I have the feeling that we don’t value as much as we should. Calblanque beach also has irresistible turquoise water. You can enjoy a very relaxing bath while contemplating the beautiful scenery of the place, where besides tourists you will find seagulls and friendly kentish plovers.

Beach of Penarronda (Asturias)
On the peaceful Asturian coast, the waters of the Atlantic Ocean are also dyed turquoise to delight bathers. Penarronda beach has fine golden sand and is 600 metres long, long enough to make you fall madly in love with it. It is easily accessible and offers all kinds of services, such as lifeguards, a car park, showers, beach bars and restaurants nearby…

Ses Illetes (Formentera)
I end this compilation of beaches with turquoise waters by talking about what is probably the best beach in Spain. The inhabitants of Formentera are accustomed to showing tourists the way to Ses Illetes, a paradise on Earth that has nothing to envy to the best beaches in the Caribbean. It is in the Ses Salines Natural Park and you shouldn’t be too confident about placing your towel on it at any time of day, as it is formed by a fairly thin tongue of sand. Fortunately, however, Formentera continues to resist mass tourism, something that is explained by the “little” accommodation there is and by how expensive it is to spend a night there.
