Fantastic experience: It is a beach that allows access to dogs, which is why we went with our little dog and everything was great. Although the beach is not very wide, there was plenty of available space and there was also a nearby shop to buy ice cream and bathroom facilities behind the beach. Recommended for going with your pet.
Positive experience: Not crowded beach, medium coarse sand, steep shore and the water covers quickly. Red Cross and surveillance, restaurant at one end and beach bar at the other. Access under the train tracks, which are next to the beach.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with coarse sand. CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER AT THE SHORE! Accessing the beach is easy. There is plenty of blue zone parking (maximum 90 minutes), but we saw that many people also left their cars on the shoulder or in an open area not far from the beach. Being far from Barcelona, we were VERY relaxed. Although we went on a Saturday, we didn’t have to compete for space with anyone and it didn’t get completely full. The water was a bit dirty with weeds at first but cleared up with the waves and it was fantastic. There is a slope when entering so it covers from the beginning. Not very suitable for children, although there were many playing at the shore. Calm waters.
Negative experience: The parking didn't allow us to pay by the hour, we had to pay for the whole day (it was 8 euros) and the water was very dirty with quite a few people considering the beach is small, that's for sure.
Fantastic experience: It is a beach that families and older people generally go to, with not much trouble in sight. The parking is paid. You have to go early if you don't want it to fill up and it is not a big beach.

Negative experience: Playa muy pequeña,nada cuidada llena de cacas de perros y sucia
Fantastic experience: El agua super limpia y buena temperatura, es profunda luego de ingresar 1.20 dentro del mar cubre 1.30 y si continúas hasta los 3 metros aprox quedas apenas tocando el fondo! Por sobre ello el agua es cristalina y por su cercanía al puerto se hacen deportes como el paddle!
Negative experience: Playa muy tranquila y agradable, sino fuera por la cantidad de excrementos de perros, seria perfecta.

Positive experience: Beach in Sant Andreu de Llavaneras at the end of the Riera next to Port Balis and very close to the Renfe station. Not a very large beach, but it has showers, some beach bars in the summer, and is close to the restaurants at the Port. Overall, a very beautiful beach, not very crowded.

Positive experience: No poso més perquè per aparcar és tot zona blava o per veïns, devant del port si hi ha un pking de sorra sense pagament, però tens la patejada.platja Prou bé, familiar sense turisme, si enfonsa de seguida, no és molt apte per nens que no sàpiguen nadar. El socorrista no crec que pugui veure tota la platja, hi ha wc policlean, dutxes, font aigua.
Positive experience: La playa está bastante bien ,el chiringuito esta abierto ,la playa le falta algo de arena y a partir de las 12 la gente se olvida de las distancia de seguridad y hueco que ve allí se planta sin medir la distancia
Positive experience: Een niet al te groot strand, maar dat vind ik juist fijn, je bent niet snel je plekkie kwijt. De zee zit tussen twee baaien in. Er zit strandwacht op een hoge stoel, die regelmatig worden afgewisseld. Heerlijk, helder water, waardoir je de kleine, mooie visjes om je heen kan zien zwemmen. Nadeel vind ik, dat het strand, wel zand is, maar vol kleine kiezeltjes. Niet echt mijn ding.
Fantastic experience: Genoeg parkeerplekken. Grof zandstrand dus makelijk te verwijderen. Niet te wilde golven. Chiringuito/douche/wc's en strandwachters. Niet te druk. (ideaal strand voor ouders met Kids)
Positive experience: Una playita que está está bien , tranquila limpia tiene acceso ducha Socorrista no es una calita pero está bastante bien

Negative experience: The beach is very nice, but there are many parking problems, everything is privatized, and the town hall charges for everything.

Positive experience: Just beautiful

Positive experience: Very nice clean and family-friendly beach.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach near the center of Badalona
Fantastic experience: An ideal little cove to go with the little ones since there are no waves, but they must know how to swim because it is deep and very small, so you either go early or there won't be space. For me, it is worth going, a small haven of peace near Barcelona.
Positive experience: The red cross shed has the amphibious wheelchair to get into the sea
Fantastic experience: Close To Barcelona with super easy train access. The water is clear snd there's a good chiringuito there for snacking and dining.
Positive experience: Quiet, even when there are many people and the water is very clean. Lovely beach.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. No bar near but Sand and water plus tranquility are really nice. There is a running path besides the Beach that can be used to bike or run. We go often to do swimming since is not crowded
Fantastic experience: Wonderful walk along the seashore! One can stop to have a bite in one of the several restaurants along the walk, the harbour is near and there are some gadgets along the seashore to do sport or for the kids to play.
