City Breaks with Beach

Looking at going on holiday later this year with the girlfriend. So i need some help with where to look at and possibilities.

We're preferably looking at a city break but somewhere near a beach. Is there anywhere other than Barcelona?

Thanks for the help

Dubai
Brighton (Its a city you know )

Nice, Naples, Split, Dubrovnik, Athens

Doesn't Paris do a beach each summer? Easy to get to, bit of culture, good food, quite romantic....Only snag could be the pound vs euro at the mo.

if i wanted a a city break with a beach, id definately head for Viareggio in Tuscany/Italy. its beautiful!

I only spent 1 day there almost 10 years ago now when I worked in Italy but it was a lovely city, great people and a beautiful beach.

Valencia!

Then combine it with the MotoGP or F1 weekend. WSBK rolls into town in just over a week so a last-minute break may be in order

Lisbon

Miami?

Liverpool, then you can go to ainsdale or formby for the beach experience
Edit : and, as an added bonus, if you book now you will be entitled to a free border patrol rideout

Thanks for the idea's guys. Looked into Valencia so far...shame the gf doesn't like motorbikes though...that also rules out stewie's idea

Miami I did with work in 2007. Neither of us are 21 (though I will be by the time we go) so that would rule about drinking in Miami.

I forgot to add we are only going for a long weekend, Thurs - Tues.

Keep the ideas coming
