This location on Costa Brava is truly the best! If you're looking for a beach destination in Lloret de Mar, Fenals district is a great choice as it's much quieter than the city center. Plus, it has a great Xaloc restaurant, a clean beach and nice walking routes - and it's easily accessible too!

The municipalities of Playa d'Aro and Calonge have allowed dogs to come to this small cove, without measuring the consequences of it...
This beautiful beach has become a nightmare, dogs are let loose, they bark, run everywhere in small groups with very lax supervision from the owners. They defecate everywhere.
This place is becoming very unsanitary because in addition to dog droppings, the access is invaded by the rubbish of the hotel above which maintains its garbage containers very badly.
Platja de La Musclera

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.
Playa Barceloneta

Rosa Medina
Not the ideal spot. It's in the city, so you can walk there, but the sand is not very comfortable, and the view isn't extraordinary. The wind was too strong for the season, and the atmosphere isn't particularly serene. There are a few food and merchandise stands, but it's nothing to write home about.
