Resumo: This paper provides an analysis of the tourist management strategies applied to the Smart Beaches existing in Spain. This review takes the concepts of Smart City and Smart Destination as a reference in order to propose a methodology divided into two phases: the first is conceptual, considering the management criteria in the most used rules of beaches management in the country; and the second is a calibrator phase, in which best practices are extracted. Thus, a number of requirements are presented, with their respective definitions and national experiences, confirming Spain's important role in the context of international tourist intelligence.
