Fantastic experience: Clean Parking Showers Beach bar Great
Positive experience: It is a very quiet beach, ideal for going with children due to its shallow depth. The showers all work and the restrooms are immaculate, although that depends on the usage by people. There is parking in a dirt lot that costs €8 for non-residents of Viladecans. I think it's outrageous for the price. But it is what it is.
Fantastic experience: The beaches are wide and not as crowded as those on the Costa Brava. You can get there by public transport (bus) or by car (there is paid parking) it costs €8 for the day, €4 from 4 PM and it's free after 8 PM. The place is family-friendly and the good thing is that the beach is shallow, and you can walk about 30 meters in and it remains shallow. It's ideal for children. The sand is fine and you can enjoy it to play.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach to spend a good day. There is paid parking, but you can also come by bus. It has showers, bathrooms, a lifeguard, and a beach bar near the breakwater.
Positive experience: I make a claim against the City Council of Viladecans for the theft or robbery, as you may want to call it, of charging €8 to park in that beach parking lot. If we compile data from 2023 it's €6, from 2022 it's €5, and from 2021 it's €5. This City Council has no shame in charging that amount while there's so much dust and under the full sun, and for more mockery, the worker who collects the fees says we should complain on social media because he has nothing to do with this increase. So, gentlemen of the City Council, take good note and reconsider, as there are many citizens who are complaining. By the way, who might be most adversely affected is the beach bar, apart from us.

Positive experience: Muy tranquilo,eso sí no puedes llevar a tu perro los meses de abril y mayo a pasear por la playa,por lo visto al ayuntamiento les molesta,pero no limpian las las latas de cerveza y papeles que hay por el suelo,de abril a septiembre los perros no son bienvenidos en esa playa,eso sí si te pierdes en la montaña o hay un terremoto que bonitos son los perros entonces,
Fantastic experience: Los perros pueden ir a principios de octubre. Durante la época de baño está prohibido. Y el tema de la pesca es del espigón hacia el Prat esta prohibido, del espigón hacia gavà no está prohibido.
Fantastic experience: Playa familiar, bien comunicada, chiringuito, w.c., socorristas... Un entorno natural protegido inmejorable, lástima de la irresponsabilidad de algunos. Quiero recalcar que en la temporada de verano del 1 de abril al 30 de septiembre están prohibidos los perros en La Murtra y La Pineda y durante todo el año en La Pineda de Cal Francés y El Remolar, igual que la pesca.
Fantastic experience: Es una playa deliciosa. Su encanto radica en poder ver los aviones pasar cerca del mar, lo cual, la hace única. En verano no se permite llevar mascotas, pero fuera de temporada, es buen sitio para pasear a los perros. La playa no es bastante concurrida, lo cual es genial. El chiringuito para comer allí (en temporada), es delicioso. Total, una buena playa en la ciudad, y al mismo tiempo fuera de ella. No llega a la concurrencia de la Barceloneta y se agradece.
Positive experience: Buen sitio para pasear con los perros en esta época del año

The sand is fine and you can enjoy it to play.
Positive experience: The naturist area is a bit far away and there's a section of the path without wooden boards. The beach bar is good, they also have food. The parking costs €8 for the whole day, and there are a few free spaces behind the control. Don't park at the beginning near the gas station, they give fines.
Positive experience: It's a shame that 70% of the sand has disappeared, being an exceptional naturist beach. The negative point is THE ABUSE OF PARKING FEES.
Positive experience: A free beach (nudist for those who wish), very close to Barcelona. Clean water, beach bar, with showers (except in dry season) ... You can't ask for more! Well, yes, not to be charged for parking the flat rate of €8, between June 1 and September 30. Every year they extend the payment parking season, making it more complicated to go for free. Ideal to go outside of those dates, even if there is no beach bar. You can try parking (for free) at the nearby REPSOL gas station or in the parking for customers of the MAMUT BEACH CLUB. Due to the recent storms, it has lost a lot of sand, but it remains a good beach to enjoy nature and swim with or without a swimsuit.
Fantastic experience: Mar, rocas, arena... y parking. En periodo de temporada alta de pago. El resto del año llegas, aparcas, disfrutas

Negative experience: José Urrutia Martínez, a neighbor from Viladecans with a family member who has a multiple disability, we had visited the facilities and thought they were suitable for our daughter, but nothing could be further from the truth. The first time we went, we encountered an amphibious chair that should be in an antiques museum, and it was poorly maintained. Every time it entered the water, it was an odyssey. In mid-August, the chair was unusable due to a broken screw, and it was the lifeguards who tried to fix it without success, which was pitiful, although we are used to these situations. Don't you think these people are born to live life like everyone else without so many obstacles? I hope you can put yourselves in our shoes and try to have more empathy and provide the necessary means for these people to have a good quality of life. I'm not giving them a zero because the lifeguards deserve a 10; they are exceptional. Think again. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach to spend a good day. There is paid parking, but you can also come by bus. It has showers, bathrooms, a lifeguard, and a beach bar near the breakwater.
Fantastic experience: Very well maintained and spacious beach. It has lifeguard service and there is parking for cars and motorcycles right next to it (Paid parking, €8 for the whole day or from 4 PM it is €4). There is a beach bar next to it at a very good price. 100% recommendable!
Negative experience: La playa está bien en principio, había bandera verde, pero al cabo del rato la han cambiado por amarilla, según el socorrista porque habían abierto la riera y entraban aguas residuales. Me parece inadmisible que si hay aguas residuales la playa no se cierre. Es arriesgar la salud de las personas. No volveré y además 6€ de parquing.
Positive experience: Playa excelente me gusto la experiencia tranquila con buen cuidado de socorristas buenas duchas la arena agradable la recomiendo

Negative experience: I find it outrageous that non-residents in Viladecans have to pay €8 while residents pay €1; it is an abuse, especially for a beach without water services, showers, and toilets.

Positive experience: It's very good because it has a parking lot right in front, which is free in winter and paid in summer. The beach is very clean and quite big. The bus stops right in front of it, but to get there by car you have to take a two-way road that is very narrow and not very safe...

Murtra Beach - Viladecans: Reviews
Positive experience: No public bathroom SUCKS!
Positive experience: Now all the beach bars are closed.
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Positive experience: The beach is quite nice, but I give it only 4 stars because of the €8 for parking. They charge you for the whole day. If you go in the afternoon, I think it’s €5. But if you go just for a little while in the morning, full price, €8. What a scam!

Negative experience: 8€ to access an unmonitored parking lot in the full sun is highway robbery. If this is a way to prevent overcrowding, bravo, mission accomplished.

Positive experience: Very good!! Calm and open!!
Fantastic experience: It's a very clean and quiet place.
Fantastic experience: Beach 5 minutes from the airport with free parking
Fantastic experience: I was there yesterday, it is still as beautiful as ever. The important change is that they have installed a parking meter and you have to pay €9 to leave the car, for now motorcycles do not pay.
Positive experience: It's very good because it has a parking lot right in front, which is free in winter and paid in summer. The beach is very clean and quite big. The bus stops right in front of it, but to get there by car you have to take a two-way road that is very narrow and not very safe...
Fantastic experience: Nice beach with free parking in winter, good place to park.
Positive experience: Great beach with very fine sand, good parking next to it with good road access. I can't evaluate the water quality because I went in October and didn't swim.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach and off-season crystal clear water
Positive experience: Calm beach. Although very windy.
Positive experience: Only 10 minutes far from the airport Terminal 1. Parking places available...5 EUR per day.
Fantastic experience: Quiet beach with a lot of space, showers, nature next to it and you can see the planes. I highly recommend it to people who want a change from the typical touristic beaches.
Positive experience: Wide beaches, relatively lowly crowded and great to go with kids. Some of the beaches are clothing-optional as well and with basic services available. Parking is paid.
Fantastic experience: Very long beach, tucked in behind the airport. Popular with the locals, away from the tourists and pesky vendors. Large area open to nudists. If you like suntanning naked, watching the jets take off, this is the place for you.
