Castelldefels Beach

This five-kilometre stretch of golden sand is one of Catalonia’s most beautiful beaches.

Families flock here in the summer months, thanks to the family-friendly activities on offer, with everything from a toy library to kids’ play areas. The clean and shallow waters also make it a safe space for the little ones.

It’s a big hit on the facilities front too - as well as plenty of parasols and sunbeds, you’ll find showers, toilets, wooden walkways to keep the sand off your toes, and even Wi-Fi too. And of course, not forgetting the lifeguard towers which are dotted along the sands to keep watch over the watersports enthusiasts who come here.

There’s a huge choice of places to eat and drink too, with a handful of bars on the actual beach and a number of restaurants and bars pulled right up to the edge of the sands.
