This beach in the Maresme area is definitely one of the best to enjoy. It stands out as the only nudist beach in the vicinity. In the past, there used to be a variety of beach bars to choose from, but now it seems that there is only one or maybe two bars, depending on the year. Unfortunately, there are no public toilets available, and the parking lot is quite small.

We decided to visit Sitges to get away from the sweltering heat and hustle and bustle of Barcelona, and we definitely made the right decision! As we walked around the town and along the beach, we got the sense that the place was mainly frequented by locals, which is always a good sign. The atmosphere was peaceful and tranquil. The sea was delightful, with gentle ripples. Lifeguards were on duty at the beach and showers were available along the shoreline to remove the sand and salt. The old town of Sitges was super charming, with lovely little shops and bars. It made me think of Greece or Portugal.
Please note that lifeguards supervise 15 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
