Sun and Beaches

With a coastline of 40 kilometres, it’s easy to see why everything in Maresme revolves around the sea. Not only does the sea feature in the region’s name (mar means “sea” in Catalan), but also the architectural, culinary and natural heritage of the area is marked by the endless crashing of the waves. So get ready! In this part of the world, passion doesn’t hide behind a mask.

You're sure to have a long list of tourist attractions you want to visit in Barcelona, but it's the summertime and what you really feel like doing is going to the beach, spreading your towel on the sand and relaxing for a few hours next to the sea... Would that be too much to ask for? Of course not! Explore the beaches of Costa Barcelona by train; your wish will come true in no time.

We just love the sea and every single one of the beaches along the 100-km stretch of coastline that makes up the Costa Barcelona. To the north you'll find wide and long beaches, such as those of Calella and Santa Susanna. Meanwhile, to the south, fine, golden-sand beaches, such as those of Castelldefels, stand in stark contrast to the sheer cliffs of the Garraf coast and small coves tucked among them, such as La Vinyeta, easily accessible.
