Sant Francesc
The beautiful cove of Sant Francesc is home to a fantastic beach. You can reach this beach by car, or on foot. You can either climb the hill of San Juan all the way from the foot, or spend a Euro or two on the bus that runs between the Placa de Catalunya and the Marimurtra Botanical Garden.
Once the bus drops you off at the entrance of the garden you may first want to double back a few feet for a fantastic view of Blanes.
Then, pass the entrance of the garden and walk via the Passeig de Carles Faust and De L’Ermita to a small chapel, next to which is an overlook from where you can admire Sant Francesc’s beautiful vieuws.
You make your way down to the beach on a paved walk at the other side of the chapel.
San Franscesc has toilet facilities, chair and parasol rentals, a restaurant and a snackbar. The latter both offer good food at decent prices.
At the far North end of the beach a set of steps leads you through a gateway in a rock to a small path hewn out in the rocky cliffs.
The path, which gently slopes up and down, does not lead anywhere in particular — and indeed stops abruptly some 15 minutes into a calm walk. You’ll want to bring your camera as there are beautiful vistas around every turn.
