The Maresme Coast has a large number of tourist attractions, but there is no doubt that the most important are its spacious beaches and beautiful coves. 

Three beaches are the ones that make up the profile of Calella, each with different features and attractions for all types of bathers and visitors.

Once again this year they have received the Biosphere Sustainable distinction, the seal in recognition of good environmental practices within the framework of the objectives against climate change. 

As well as the Safe Tourism Certified seal. All of them have free wifi access.

And as a novelty this year, smoking is prohibited in any of them, except for the beach clubs as a permitted area.

 

Les Roques Beach 

750m long and 25m wide

 

It is the closest to the lighthouse and the Torretas. Surrounded by pine trees and rocks, with crystal clear water, it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. It has four coves: Rocapins, la Viñeta, la Roca Grossa and Cala d’en Pere, the latter being a nudist beach. There are also showers and a boulder climbing wall for the most daring.

 

Garbí Beach

814 m long and 72 m wide

 

A few metres from the Hotel Bernat II and where our beach restaurant Bahari Club is located, you will find this beach, which has been awarded every year with the ‘Q’ for tourist quality by the ICTE and with the Blue Flag of the Beaches of Europe, which guarantee the cleanliness of its waters and services for everyone.

A beach for everyone with children’s activities, disabled access, beach football, beach volleyball and basketball areas, and a floating park for the little ones. 

It also has security and surveillance services provided by the Local Police and the Cruz Roja.

 

The Big Beach

1,500 m long and 72 m wide

 

Located in the heart of the city, and parallel to the Manuel Puigvert promenade, it is perfect to go with the family, with friends or as a couple, being the most dynamic beach with a wide range of activities during the summer.

It has special amphibious chairs, areas for beach sports such as football, volleyball or basketball, showers and security and surveillance services provided by the Local Police and the Cruz Roja.

It will be difficult not to visit them all, but if you still haven’t decided which one is your favourite, we give you all the detailed information HERE.

Finally, we leave you a small trailer of what could be the summer of your dreams in Calella, recorded in Playa de las Rocas
