PLAGES ET CRIQUES

The Lloret de Mar coastline also has 9 km of coves and beaches. Located in the centre of the town, Lloret beach is the largest, about 1.5 km long, bordered by the paseo maritime and offering all the services, bars and restaurants one could wish for. To its left, Sa Caleta, a small cove is dominated by the Castle of en Platja, the visual symbol of the town, often converted into a postcard. Still on the same side, Canyelles beach is the furthest from the centre and is home to Lloret's only marina. To the right of Lloret's main beach and located after Castell Sant Joan, Fenals beach is the second largest and takes advantage of its location in a bay protected from the wind. Then there are two beaches that are more isolated, as they are more difficult to access: the Platja de Sa Boadella, which can be reached by the road leading up to the gardens of Santa Clotilde and then by a 200-metre-long dirt track, and the Platja de Santa Cristina, with the singing of birds and the sound of the waves as companions for the latter. It is accessed from the chapel, where you can park your car and then walk down. There are two ways to walk along this coastline: the circuit of the beach walk, from Platja de Canyelles to Santa Cristina, an easy walk of about 3 hours and the brave lives, a network of paths parallel to the coastal paths, which are signposted and marked, and which also allow you to embellish the circuit with regular dives.
