Lloret’s main beach is a mile long stretch of coarse sand that runs along the town’s promenade. It has some high rise buildings which detract from the beach but on the other hand it has all the facilities you need such as sports facilities, showers, toilets and walkways for people with reduced mobility.

Over the peak season there is also a children’s club for kids aged 3 to 12. In the summer it gets packed but at the northern end of the beach you’ll also find the slightly more secluded cove of Sa Caleta. South of the main beach is another cove, the rocky Cala Banys.

It’s more picturesque than Lloret’s main beach as it is near the botanical gardens and not so urban. All the same it has good facilities.
The beach at Sa Boadella has long been a nudist beach but its 250 metre length can get a little bit overcrowded in August, although it remains a popular choice for many holidaymakers and it does have services such as a toilet and first aid post.
Santa Cristina beach
Better is the beach at Santa Cristina. 450 metres long it isn’t straightforward to get there, although the Dofijet boats stop there. You also reach the smaller Cala Treumal. The best way to get here us by car as it is a few kilometres from the centre of Lloret. Parking at the hermitage costs around €7 per day, which puts many people off. There are a couple of restaurants behind the beach but the path down from the hermitage is pretty steep.
Finally, found off the road to Tossa de Mar you’ll find Canyelles beach. The area is well populated and so it gets busy in summer but it’s rather more picturesque than the urban setting of Lloret’s main beach.
