If you are staying in Sitges, you are most likely looking for a sun and beach vacation. But, as with accommodations, you have to know how to choose the one that best fits your getaway so that it is perfect. Luckily, we bring you the best recommendations for beaches near Sitges and all the information you need to find the one that best suits you.
Beaches in Sitges vs. coves in Garraf: what to expect
The first thing is to make a quick comparison between the beaches in Sitges and those in Garraf, since, although Sitges is part of Garraf, the city's beaches are very different from those in its surroundings. Lying in the sand of Sitges is not the same as getting lost among rocks and pine trees in Garraf, so here's a comparison of the two options:
Sitges Beaches
- Easy access, on foot or by public transport
- Urban and family environment
- Very popular
- Services: Beach bars, showers, lifeguard
Calas del Garraf
- Difficult access
- Natural and quieter environment
- Usually fewer people
- Scarce services
7 beaches near Sitges (with how to get there)
Easily accessible beaches
1. Anquines
Quiet and familiar beach that has a unique shell shape, formed by the breakwaters that surround it. Its location at one end of Sitges means that it has all the services without being crowded. And if what you want is a drink with the sea in the background, this is also your beach, since that's where you'll find the renowned Beso Beach Club.
This beach is very easy to reach by car and is only 5 minutes away by public transport from HolaCamp Sitges Garrofer and HolaCamp Sitges Relax. If you prefer, you can also walk, as it is about 15 minutes on foot from our campsites.
2. Marina d'Aiguadolç
Another quiet family beach where you can create memorable memories with your loved ones is Marina d'Aiguadolç, which is located just past the port of Sitges. It is an ideal beach for water sports, although it is a little more on the outskirts of Sitges and does not have as many services.
It is just over half an hour away by public transport from HolaCamp Sitges Relax and HolaCamp Sitges Garrofer with the SL2 line.
3. The Frigate
Fragata Beach is located just below the church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla. Being located in the center of Sitges, it is one of the most frequented. On the same beach is the Sitges Nautical Club, where you can take lessons in light sailing, windsurfing and paddlesurf, among others, and where you will find a beach bar where you can rest in the shade and have a drink.
From HolaCamp Sitges Relax and HolaCamp Sitges Garrofer you'll arrive in about half an hour on foot.
Coves with more nature
4. Cap de Grills
This pebble beach is ideal for going with dogs and is still quite unknown, so it's perfect if you're looking for a quiet beach day to reconnect with nature. In addition, it is currently considered a protected environment so it no longer has a beach bar.
It is less than half an hour's walk from HolaCamp Sitges Relax and HolaCamp Sitges Garrofer.
5. Cala Morisca
If you go a little further away from Sitges you will find Cala Morisca. A naturalistic beach that is located in a privileged environment. It has different services, such as showers and a small beach bar on the corner of the beach where you can share #CampStories in the shade
However, its location, although privileged, is difficult to access, since you can only get there by car by parking it in the private paid area that gives access to the beach or on foot, which is also a good option for a long trip with a refreshing swim at the end.
6. Les Casetes del Garraf Beach
This beach is one of the most famous coves near Sitges, it is known for its colorful houses located in front of the beach. It is a very popular place because of its excellent public transport connection and because, according to National Geographic, it is one of the most beautiful and special beaches in the world. At its beachfront snack bar you can cool off with a drink, as well as enjoy all the beach services.
Les Casetes del Garraf is super well located to reach by public transport, right next to the R2S train station. From HolaCamp Sitges Relax and HolaCamp Sitges Garrofer you can arrive in just over half an hour with a combination of that same train and the SL2 bus line.
7. Cala de l'Home Mort
La Cala de l'Home Mort is one of the first LGBTI beaches in the world and a naturist beach that is located in an exceptional natural environment. If you are looking for a good environment to live unique #CampStories in, this cove and its beach bar are ideal.
It is about a 45-minute walk from our campsites, but we promise you that the effort will pay off.
Best time to go and what to bring
Although it's always a good time to go to the beach, the best hours are from 10 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon or early in the afternoon until sunset. We recommend that you avoid the sunniest and hottest hours (from 2 noon to 4 in the afternoon), especially in July and August, to avoid heat stroke or burns, especially if you are traveling with children.
Whatever time you go, these are the essentials that cannot be missing in your bag for a 10/10 day at the beach:
- Sunscreen
- Deck of cards
- Swimsuit
- Towel
- Umbrella
- Something to snack on
Access, parking and security tips
Our advice is to, whenever you can, go to the beach on foot or by public transport, so you don't have to worry about parking. But if you want to go to one of the most remote coves in Sitges, sometimes there's no other option but to go by car. So we recommend that you search for nearby car parks in advance and arrive early in the morning to secure your place. And if you don't like to get up early, or if you want to avoid the paid car parks at the entrance of some of the beaches, such as Cala Morisca, you can always leave your car in a car park that is a little further away and walk the last part of the road.
To prevent scares and so that after the holidays the only anecdotes you have to tell are your funniest #CampStories, we advise you to always keep an eye on your things when you are at the beach and always accompany the little ones to the water.
Where to stay to have everything at hand
If you having the freedom to enjoy as you want is more your style than being within four walls, a glamping will be your best option. That's why HolaCamp offers you two campsites near the beaches of Sitges, each with its own personality.
