The 18 best beaches in and around Vilanova i la Geltru

Great beach all round. Safe for kids as the ground slopes very gently in the water and you can safely walk out quite a distance. Lovely promenade so you can relax and watch the beach from a selection of cafes and restaurants, or from the ice-cream parlour. No big hotels, strictly local feel, though very welcoming. You can always find a place, even at the peak weekends when it does get busy.

The anorth end starts to have pebbles and not be so comfortable, but in general it's a nice beach with not so many people except during weekends in August. It has a family atmosphere.

Good place but problem with train timing Beach is near 10 mint turist came from France and russia

Nice sea and cosy place, good bars along the walk.

Excellent place for family with young kids going on holidays

Our favorite beach. Clean and peaceful

Miles of beautiful sandy beach

Light house in Vilanova I la Geltru. Very impressive icon in the marina district.

Small museum, English translation available on request.

Enjoyable place to visit. Two small museums within the Vilanova Lighthouse very friendly and with particular history. Some surprise are waiting you when there, which will provide great memories to you. Do you know where is the smallest boat of the world?....🤔

Nice part of Vilanova, with a great beach, walks, lighthouse and restaurants nearby. It seems the council has "discovered" it and is ordering the parking, the beach, adding walkways and "chiringuitos"

Well worth a visit even my wife enjoyed it despite no interest in fishermen or the sea.

Cozy place for sightseeing.

Very lovely place to visit and see small town history

Iconic beachside restaurant of Vilanova. During the summer has large terrace area for restaurant and sundown chillout drinks. Pleasant indoor area on first floor with amazing view. Mid week fixed menu of 20 euros. Good value for money. I had seafood tempura and the seafood paella with squid ink - very good indeed. Service attentive. Has its own large carpark. Recomended.

The setting here is undeniably beautiful with the seaside view. It id stunning and creates a great atmosphere, especially around sunset. The service was friendly and attentive, and a few of the dishes we tried were well-executed. The fish dish is expansive but with of the try. The ribeye steak fell short, lacking the flavor and tenderness you’d expect for the price, which made it feel like poor value. We were also caught off guard by a loud event on a Wednesday night, which made it difficult to have a proper conversation. While the ambiance and service are solid, the overall value-for-money doesn’t quite hold up. Perhaps not the best pick for a nice meal.

Great food & view Service is very slow though

I ordered fish and chips and got small pieces of fish with crisps. That is not what was on their picture for fish and chips. Was really disappointed. And it was nt a good price

Great food and average service. The location by the sea om the Pier is fantastic.

Loved this place. It's not very cheap, but the quality of food, the views and the atmosphere are totally worth it. the sunset views are amazing! will come back for sure!

🏳️‍🌈🚫⛔️⚠️ LGBT COMMUNITY BE CAREFUL ⚠️ We were denied entry to this club simply for being gay. This is deeply discriminatory and unacceptable. I strongly advise against supporting a place that practices this kind of exclusion.

It worths the while if you have small kids. The access is easy(next to the actual Renfe-Rodalies station of Vilanova and next to the bus station). It has a space to leave your bicycle. If you have a Library Card the price is reduced. Kids under 5 don’t pay. The place is spacious and kids can plat inside or outside freely. I saw kids playing hide and seek even. It also has a playground outside and a picnic area. Lots of stuff to see. Interactive monitors make it more fun for the little ones. Water fountains outside and sitting areas. Clean bathrooms. Helpful stuff. The inside playing area is so fun too! The Vilanova library is also a couple of minutes away if you want to visit it as well. Walking distance (5 minutes) from the beach and a huge park as well. It’s a great excursion for kids!

What a truly incredible museum!! The staff were very friendly upon entry. The price to enter was very reasonable. They had information available in Spanish, English, and French! It was very easy to understand and learn. I spent well over an hour exploring the trains, cars, and property.

Great place to visit and learn about the Catalonia railway. Kids visiting were having a great time. The information on the trains and locomotives were very informative and the staff was wonderfully nice and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend if you’re near Vilanova i la Géltru.

It is probably one of Europe's finest steam engine museums. This museum offers an unparalleled journey through the history of industrial innovation. Featuring a vast collection of restored trains, and interactive exhibits, it captivates enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The museum's dedication to preserving these magnificent machines makes it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the golden age of steam power and its profound impact on modern technology. It is a must-see museum near Barcelona! PS. The staff is amazing! Thank you!

Good collection of trains, in a well organised itinerary and with comprehensive explanations. It's possible to go on the footplate, look at the detail and interact with the controls of several steam engines. The indoor museum was also interesting. When we visited on a weekday, however, some of the exhibitions were not functioning. The price was very competitive, and the staff attentive and willing to help. Parking was hard, because the car park next to it seemed to be for regular users only.

I enjoyed my visit here. A good mix of textual information and physical exhibits. Friendly staff.

The train museum in Catalonia is a must-visit for locomotive enthusiasts and history buffs alike, even if you're coming from just an hour away in Barcelona. Stepping into the museum is like stepping back in time, surrounded by magnificent locomotives and carriages, each whispering tales of Catalonia's rich railway history. The collection is comprehensive and captivating, featuring sleek, modern bullet trains to grand, smoky steam engines. And the best part? You can actually climb aboard some of the steam locomotives, making history come alive. Ticket prices are reasonable, especially considering you have a whole month from purchase to revisit the museum at your leisure. It's perfect for families or anyone who wants to explore the exhibits in multiple visits. Beyond the impressive locomotives, the museum offers a fascinating journey through Catalonia's railway history. Interactive exhibits, informative displays, and historical artifacts paint a vivid picture of how trains shaped the region's landscape, economy, and culture. Whether you're a train enthusiast or just looking for a unique and interesting day trip from Barcelona, the train museum in Catalonia is a winner. With its impressive collection, interactive exhibits, and budget-friendly approach, it's a journey that will leave you enriched and entertained. Bonus Tip: Check the museum's website for special events and activities, which can add another layer of fun to your visit.

Very dangerous beach. When you go swimming, it's very likely that your belongings will be stolen. It's dirty and it stinks.

Way too Donda yet again. Why beseaches me This has gone on for a while and it makes staff and other people act rudely

Beautiful peaceful open beach. Nice beach bar too for drinks, meals and cocktails.

a wide beach with smooth entry into the water, ideal for families with children

Gorgeous beach, good waves, safe and clean.

This was our hiking destination, from Sitges to Vilanova along the coast.

You have to pay to park (2h for 4€). Before it was free to park inside the beach but now it seems they want profit from everything

Beautiful beach, walk and views. However, in winter, the parking is very unsafe. We got robbed - broken window + stealing. We dont know if it was pure coincidence but the area behind the beach is not well kept. It's not very clean, lots of overgrown plants, looks sketchy. You don't have a good visual of the parking lot either. Keep that in mind.

This is a small, intimate, family beach with only the most essential services, it has an aura of peace and safety. The beach is flat, the sand is fine, and the seafloor slopes gently. It's almost the last beach of Vilanova i La Geltru - except for the slightly separated naturist beach just off to the side. The only caveat is that the train runs behind the beach every so often but after the first hour we hardly noticed it. There's a car park, cycle parking and motorbike parking, and a restaurant with a terrace & rooftop dining. Not quite quaint, but closer to it than many beaches in the area.

Not crowded (that's good), parking close to the beach, but not easy to arrive.

Ideal

The parking isn't free anymore a d

Great place for a swim.

Very calm beach

Relatively small beach, with not much sand but enough. Plenty of nice bars and couple of restaurants near by which are nice. A lot of foot traffic, so not the cleanest or quietest.

Very peaceful and nice beach. I went surfing here a few years ago.

Very peaceful!

Nice temp. At sea and clean too

Very good

Be

Really nice

Nice white sand beach in town. Can get a bit crowded late afternoons or during the weekends. Family and friends groups type of audience... not quiet one to relax, but definitely worth it for such crowds.

Lovely promenade with sand and grassy beach areas from marina to the south end of beach, good access to bars, eateries etc

Cool, broad, and long beach with delicate sand and nice bar. Definitely worth visiting!

Absolutely stunning beach which serves food (pizzas and burgers) as well as cocktails.

Beautiful, warm. Family friendly! Great atmosphere!

It's got sand. Nice water easy atmosphere

We love Vilanova, and it's beach, of course.

Beautiful safe beach it was empty during the week busy at weekend. My favourite in Sitges. The beach bar has good food and the toilets are Clean. You have to pay for parasol and sun loungers.

It smells terribly of disgusting algae. My sister reeked after swimming there. I cut myself on the rocks. Nice sand and few people, but no waves. There are some bars and paid sunbeds. There are no shade or trees.

Very quiet beach in Sitges You can enjoy the sun with your family

Love this beach, very chilled, never too busy and always exceptional friendly

Absolutely beautiful beach! Amazing for families with kids, water is stunning and the restaurant on the beach is delicious.

Beautiful, clean and safe beach! Loved this place 100% recommended!

Relatively empty beach. Check the wind beforehand if you have umbrella. Because the wind might strong :)

Great place situated at the top of the beach. Gets very busy at the weekends, so best to reserve a table. Good selection of food and drinks.

Nefasto Terrible service. The rudest staff that I have ever met. Really as a paying customer,I don't expect to be treated so disrespectfully.

Just go with the flow. Service can be slow but you get what you need. I've only had drinks but you can order snacks too...bravas, nachos etc. A great location at the entrance to the port and steps from the beach.

Great location by the beach and friendly staff. I highly recommend. Also, thank you to the owner.

Ok. Nothing special about it. But if you want a drink near the beach (there are nicer chiringuitos ON the beach), then it works.

It is comfortable and has a very nice view even in the night

Lovely beach, good for families and groups too.

Its a nice place but there are some problems like it's a little bit dirty but apart from that I'd recommend it

Very chilled and shallow beach.

A truly beautiful place.

Siches play

Great sandy beach

Super

(Translated by Google) A very crowded beach in summer, although it's best enjoyed early in the day and late in the day. The nearest streets are blue zones, but later on, they aren't, and there's plenty of space available. The beach is lifeguarded from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The water is clean, and if you want a massage, there's a Chinese woman named María Antonia who gives very good massages. Her hands are very soft. And the water isn't donkey piss, but come on, the Mediterranean, it feels like the Caribbean! (Original) Una playa muy concurrida en verano, aunque a primera hora del día y último se puede disfrutar mejor. Las calles más próximas son zona azul, pero luego no y hay mucho sitio disponible. La playa cuenta con vigilancia de 10 a 19. El agua está limpia y si quieres un masaje hay una china de nombre María Antonia que da muy buenos masajes. Tiene las manos muy suaves. Y el agua, no es meao de burra, pero vamos con el Mediterráneo, parece el Caribe!

Tacky music. Expensive food. A tourist trap.

(Translated by Google) Everything was going well until they brought us the olives, we were a table of 6 in which we all consumed a cocktail for €16 each, and they brought us 3 measly olives, not even one per person. They haven't given us napkins either. In another place it doesn't matter, in a place where they charge €16 for a cocktail it is a shame. (Original) Todo iba bien hasta que nos trajeron las olivas, éramos una mesa de 6 en la que todos hemos consumido un cocktail de 16€ cada uno, y nos han traído 3 míseras aceitunas, ni si quiera una por persona. Tampoco nos han puesto servilletas. En otro sitio da igual, en un sitio donde cobran 16€ el cocktail es una vergüenza.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and cozy rooftop! (Original) Rooftop muy bonito y acogedor !

(Translated by Google) Terrassa is too good. (Original) La Terrassa es demasiado bien.

Wide and pretty clean, a nice beach club Havana nearby

One of the worst beach experiences I’ve had. Filthy sand, cigarette butts everywhere, and the water smelled weird. Way too crowded, noisy, and absolutely no charm. Avoid unless you enjoy chaos and disappointment."

One of the nicest beaches, very wide, beautiful seashells.

Lovely beach. Nice place to enjoy some quiet time in the sun

RAS

super

Pretty and clean.never crowded

We had seen this place on a few videos. It is a bit of a trek but you get a great view if you go via the golf course. I think the cafe has now gone and we didn’t see the signs so not sure if they had been taken down. We went on a morning so was a bit quiet and seemed to be fairly mixed with men and women and even dogs and kids. The only reason we knew it was the right one was the pride flag painted steps

Love this beach. Because it is a bit secluded it is not always super packed although on the weekends it might be hard to find space. Has a small bar with all you can need during sunny day. Totally worth hike.

It is worth visiting it once just to experience the picturesque bay landscape and the history since this beach existed since 1930 as the sign says. Many people walk there along the beach about 1 hour. But I didn't like this route so much as it can be muddy, sometimes it's just a few rocks in front of the sea. Alternatively one can take a bus or a taxi (which can save about 40 minutes of walk) to a place above the golf club. From there follow through the bushes. Just use Google Maps. It will be needed to go through the rails. At the beach there is a bar. But it's better to take some food and drinks with you. If you have "aqua boots", take them with you, as there are small stones between the sea and the beach. The sea goes deep very fast. So don't swim far from the coast. There is no bay watch there. The beach is a nude one, but wearing a swimwear is okay.

Very nice nudist beach. Gets very busy between 11am and 5pm every sunny day. Unfortunately not accessible by people with mobility issues

Omg!! I am in love with that beach!! So quiet, relaxing and clean! A bit of walk though but very much worth it!!! You gotta walk up the mountain and be careful with all the rocks you will be stepping on as they might be tricky and hurt you! Follow the rocky path as shown in the photos and you will end up there! Put in mind that tide changes some times, so when you are coming back after getting down from the mountain some of the land will be covered in water. Depends on the tide. It has not happened to me but to some of my friends. So keep that in mind.

SINCE 1930 A Gay Male Nudist beach primarily, but regularly with quiet str8 couples or the occasional gaggle of loud ‘shouty’ str8 girls hanging out with the ‘fruits’, like bats. Gay girls and everyone is welcome. All kinds of everything on the beach but most folks are in age range late 20s to early 60s. Fitter and younger than Balmains nudista beach because this playa is more remote. You’re left alone to be yourself. You don’t have to go nude but why would you trek all this way and not show off your meat plus two veg or Pepsies and Shierlies. Man Thongs were popular summer 2025. Trainers are best. I’ve walked there in Birkenstocks. Wear rubber shoes to access sea unless your feet are as tough as Rosie the riveter. ACCESS: Me, I take the L2 bus route from the Sitges train station to the upmarket Can Girona residential development. You must inform driver you want Can Girona - €1.50. Bus departs twice per hour at the fifteen minute after/fifteen minute before each hour. Bus journey time 10 minutes. I then walk 15 minutes through the pine forests down to Playa del Muerto. Take a Taxi to closeby the former Atlantia open air discotheque and walk 1.5km up and over a rocky headland. Or shorter walk from Can Girona. The promenade walk from Sitges takes 45 minutes. I prefer to walk back to Sitges in the evening. Mountain bikes are an option. Some ‘alpha male’ couples paddle in like Viking raiders in Decathlon Kayaks and kick sand up. Train Danger: Don’t cross railway track when fast moving trains approach. STOP. Raise your arm allowing the train driver to assess you as a lesser risk. NEVER cross railway as a train approaches- you might encourage some fool to follow your bad example. Beach Bar: Mid May - Early October Chirungay beach bar is well run by family Vegas. They serve fresh salads and refreshments: Mojito Cava Sangria Cola Aqua Cerveza - with/without ice. Parasols Rent an excellent parasol for €10, a lounger €15. Don’t bring a tent or TEMU tent chair or you’ll be asked not to use them. Space on the beach is limited. By all means bring your own parasol but if it’s cheap it will break with the first gust of wind and you’ll look silly. Time: Busy 11.00hrs-18.00hrs. Security: Yes you can visit solo. Your stuff is safer here than at any place else in Sitges. The Beach Bar team are vigilant for ‘wrong ‘uns’ who avoid this place but your property is your responsibility. Lots of folks visit for half a day before flying out of BCN el Prat. WC: Bring a compostable doggy poo poo bag for your number two, then bring it home or dig a hole and bury it. A pee pee in the wet sand or offshore while skinny dipping. Other attractions: YES. There’s an expansive Mediterranean pine forest across the busy train tracks. Very busy afternoons early evenings. Man caves and open air amphitheater of fun at the far end of beach. Bar terrace is the ideal place to hangout with your new best friend necking beers or each other. SWIM SAFETY: At your own risk because there is no lifeguard. Safe swimming inshore. Farther out there are currents which might cause issues for novice swimmers. Give my review a like if you feel you’ve got a good overview of Playa del Muerto.

It takes a lot of patience, courage and resolve to come all the way to this secluded spot on the rocky coast south of Sitges. If you like a short adventure on your way to a beach, this place is for you. If you don't like to hike on rocks for an hour, it isn't. For those who take the plunge, you will be rewarded with a smaller crowd than the beaches in the center of town and a vastly more picturesque setting. The crowd is varied, gay and straight, nudist and clothed. It's not exclusively one thing or another, even if the signs say so.

be careful it's a nudist beach... be careful with your children!

(Translated by Google) Simply wonderful, naturist/nudist beach, (although people in swimsuits also go there, where textiles and nudists coexist without any problem) - but it is a 100x100 nudist beach. Respect, tolerance, freedom, no one is judged, you meet new people, to go and see you have the train tracks... and if you feel like taking a walk and looking at the 'views' there is a beautiful forest full of hiding places and fantastic places to play 😈 (away from the beach where no one is bothered) In short, to repeat without a doubt (I will return soon) I will update photos as they go. (Original) Sencillamente maravillosa, playa naturista/nudista,( aunque también van personas con bañador, donde textiles y nudistas conviven sin ningún problema ) - pero es playa 100x100 nudista. Respeto , tolerancia, libertad , no se judga a nadie , conoces gente nueva , para ir y para colver tienes las vías del tren.. y si te apetece un paseo y mirar las ' vistas ' hay un bosque precioso lleno de escondites y sitios fantásticos para jugar 😈 ( apartado de la playa donde no se molesta a nadie ) En fin para repetir sin duda ( pronto volveré) Actualizaré fotos según vaya yendo

(Translated by Google) It's a shame that to go and enjoy the Prat de Vilanova beach you have to pay a fee, the only place before the bridge is free and they have reduced the space and on top of that they say they will fine you. You go and enjoy nature and you have to give up your salary!!!! (Original) Una vergonya que per anar a gaudir de la platja del prat de Vilanova s'hagi de pagar una animalada per pagar, l'únic lloc abans del pont gratis i han reduït espai i a sobre diuen que multen. Vas a gaudir de la natura i t'has de deixar el sou!!!!

(Translated by Google) A nice beach, what is bad are the showers: THERE ARE ALWAYS A FEW PUDDS AND YOU CAN'T REMOVE THE SAND.... Those in the blue zone parking could have been a little more attentive and see the state of the shower area. Plus there is always trash around the trash cans. (Original) Una playa bonita, lo que es malo son las duchas: SIEMPRE HAY UNOS CHARCOS Y NO PUEDES QUITAR LA ARENA....
