I don´t know the best beach to see the sunset from because the coast, in the main, faces east away from the sunset.
One of the most spectacular thing to see here is when a full/fullish moon rises out of the sea in the east, on a clear night it is truly fantastic to see a red moon break the horizon.

The sun rises in the East and sets in the West, but the exact point at which the sun rises and sets on the horizon varies with the time of year.
On the East coast of Spain you’ll only see the sun rise over the sea, not set.
Being on the Eastern side of any of the inland bodies of water at sunset, looking West, will give you a sunset over water type of view. The Salt lakes, or the Mar Menor (from the causeway that separates the sea from the Mar Menor) are good options.

There are a few apps that allow you to work-out exactly where the sun will set, so you can scout-out suitable locations during the day then return in the evening. I use one called PhotoPills that has an Augmented Reality feature to see where the sun will be in relation to the horizon and at what time.

Pete.
