Blanes — long a favorite Costa Brava seaside resort for locals from Barcelona and elsewhere in Catalonia — has been spared the tourist excesses that for many people have spoiled Lloret de Mar, the popular tourist hotspot to the north.
S’Abanell — in Blanes — is the longest beach in Blanes, and one of the longest beach along the entire Costa Brava.
This beach is popular with tourists and locals alike.
The beautiful cove of Sant Francesc in Blanes, Costa Brava, is home to a fantastic beach.
A guide to the beaches of Blanes, Costa Brava
Bathers at a popular beach in Blanes were briefly prohibited from going into the water after several stingrays had been spotted.
The animals are rarely seen near the coast.
The tourist season is in full swing, but the City Council of Blanes is still waiting for Spain’s Ministry of the Environment to make good on its promise to deposit 250.000 cubic meters of sand on the beach of S’Abanell.
Delivery will likely take place in late July or early August.
