Platja de Garraf Beach

Just along the coast from the ever-popular Castelldefels, you’ll find this peaceful and pretty spot, which is ideal for avoiding the crowds.

This 350-metre long stretch of biscuit-coloured sand is a popular place with families, thanks to the clear, calm waters and chilled-out vibe.

Lots of the beachgoers here are day trippers from Barcelona, who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours, and catch some rays on the soft sands.

Facilities-wise, there are showers and toilets here, as well as a handful of bars and restaurants close to the sands. 

It’s the scenery that steals the show though - pulled up to the sands are a number of whitewashed fisherman’s huts, which have been restored to former glories and make for a super scenic backdrop.
