Calella is one of the best destinations on the Barcelona-Maresme Coast. Its beaches not only invite you to relax in the sun, but during the summer months they become a real hub of leisure, sport and fun for all ages.
Whether you’re planning a getaway to the Maresme or are already enjoying your holiday in Calella, before you organise your day out, we recommend exploring Calella’s various beaches and coves, each with its own unique charm.
Family-friendly activities in Calella
Calella’s beaches are designed so that both children and adults can find leisure options to suit their tastes.
- Children’s play area: Just a few metres from the beach, you’ll find the playground on Paseo Manuel Puigvert, an ideal spot for children to carry on playing after a swim whilst the adults enjoy the seafront promenade.
- Stand-up paddleboarding: One of the most popular activities is stand-up paddleboarding. It’s a fun experience, easy to learn and perfect for sharing as a family whilst enjoying a different view of the coast.
- Kayaking: Exploring the coast by kayak is another excellent option for those looking for a peaceful and safe activity. You can hire single or double kayaks and explore the coastline at your own pace.
- Floating water park: During the summer season, a large inflatable water park is set up on the sea off the Paseo de les Roques, featuring slides, obstacles, trampolines and play areas. It’s a favourite activity for children, teenagers and groups of friends.
- Dog-friendly beach: If you’re travelling with your pet, Calella has a designated dog-friendly area on Playa Grande during the authorised season, so the whole family can enjoy the beach too.
- Boat trips: Boats depart from the jetty at Playa Grande for trips to various destinations along the Costa Brava – a highly recommended experience to round off your holiday.
