Topless and Nude Sunbathing
Going topless is no problem — even at the stretch of beach along the main boulevard in the old center of Blanes.
While Blanes has a large Catholic population, most locals do not appear to be prudish.
In the early morning hours some of the town’s older men and women take a refreshing dip in the sea, and many of them will change in and out of their bathing suits right at the beach.
During the tourist season it is not unusual to see tourists and locals alike — relaxing on the benches that line the boulevard — enjoying the sight of nubile young women cooling off under the nearby showers.
One can see the occasional nude sunbather or skinny-dipper, but if you wish to go nude just be sensible, which includes being sensitive to those around you. [Read: don’t flaunt, and don’t do anything those around you would likely want you to confine to your own bedroom].
If you want more privacy, either make your way down to the nude beach near the mouth of the (virtually dry) Tordera river, use the small coves of Santa Anna, or — as some people do — try to make your way around (wading through the water) or over (climbing the rocks) the ‘Punta de Santa Ana‘ to reach a small, sandy beach.

This is a nice ‘beach.’ My friends and I went here a few times, and most of the time it wasn’t busy at all. This is the first place I ever went topless which felt great! The pebbles did not feel so great, so the next time we came we brought some foam matresses which we bought at a beach store in the tourist area. We tried to reach the sandy beach one time, but couldn’t make our way around or over that last rock. We saw other people do it, though.
