💡 Tips

  • The beach here is wide and sandy, but the sea gets deep quickly, so keep an eye on small children.
  • Use the Rodalies train to travel comfortably to Barcelona or Girona; the station is right by the coast.
  • Finding free parking near the beach in July and August is difficult; use the larger municipal lots further inland.
  • Walk the seaside promenade that connects Pineda de Mar with neighboring Calella and Santa Susanna.
  • Many local shops observe the siesta, closing between 1:30 PM and 5:00 PM.
