It is 750 metres long, with calm waters, rocks and golden sand. It has a nudist area. The lighthouse and the old watchtowers of Calella are nearby. In addition, it has a medical service and police surveillance, as well as showers and a restaurant-bar. Considered a marine ecosystem, it does not allow rod fishing to help preserve the cormorant colony that lives and nests there and from 2022, it will be a smoke-free space and no smoking will be allowed.

From the first weekend of August, in Calella we already have a beach where you can go swimming with your dog. It is located on the stretch between Sant Isidre and Escoles Píes streets. Well delimited and equipped with a shower where you can refresh your pet.

Take the opportunity to watch your dog enjoy themselves, bathing with you and your family while always following the rules of conduct that you will find exposed there.
