S’Abanell — the longest beach of the Costa Brava
S’Abanell streches south of Plaça Del Països Catalans, the roundabout (with a beautiful fountain) near Sa Palomera — the rocky promentory that marks the official beginning of the Costa Brava.
This wide beach (40-60 meters) consists of 3.1 kilometers of clean, somewhat coarse — but comfortable — sand. It stretches past the districts of El Pins and S’Abanell, where most of the town’s 40 hotels are located. Further south it runs past some of Blanes’ campings.
The beach ends at the mouth of the Tordera — a dry river. This remote part — which can also be reached by taking the Avinguda De La Vila De Madrid [Google Map] is designated as the official nude beach. It is seldom busy.
Close to the Avinguda del Mediterrani street [Google Map] there are facilities for the handicapped.
There are kiosks, bars and some restaurants on or near the boulevard along the beach.

Hi! Thanks for this guide. My friend and I stayed at Hotel Stella Maris which is right across from this beach. This was our first visit to Blanes and we are definitily planning to come back year.
The beach is nice, clean and not too busy. This is the first year we both dared to sunbathe topless. We were a bit prudish about it so we did not want to do itright in front of the hotel. We walked down the boulevard to where the beach was a little wider. It was not as busy there. It still took us a while to get up the courage to take our tops off. What a strange feeling that is when you first do it! It was exciting actually! Even though almost no one paid any attention it was still exhilerating to just sit there with your bare boobs for all to see. Wow! Another experience richer!
Later in the week we also visited the Sant Francesc beach. That is very nice as well, but a little too much work for us. The walk back was a bit much…
