User reviews
"This location is a great spot to enjoy a sunny day, but be prepared to pay for parking - it's 2 hours for 4€. It's a bit of a bummer, as parking used to be free inside the beach, but now it seems like they want to make a profit off of everything - even the sand, which is a beautiful shade of brown."

"In my opinion, Vilanova has the best beach and it's the starting point of an amazing hike to Sitges."
