Our friend recommended the beaches in Sitges. It is a safe place, and you won't be constantly bothered by people trying to sell you things. We chose Balmins because we enjoy nude beaches. This nude beach also allows for clothing-optional sunbathing. The ambience is friendly, and the seawater is great for swimming.

Love this beach. Met some many people around the world. The people are very friendly. Bring beach umbrella, towels, sun screens, drinks and flip flops. You can get a beach umbrella from the bazzar. A single size of beach umbrella is about euro 9.80. Take a beach towel from the hotel. Get drinks and food in the merrcat next to railway station. Most people get there after 12pm then stay til 6pm. To get down to the beach, please go further north side of the beach with the walk path where the beach club is. It is just another less than 5 mins walk. Most people climbed down with a rocky pathway to the beach for a fast track. If you are wearing a flip flop, then i would sugfest to go further walking down the beach. It is worth to walk down the beach near the beach club. LBQTI+ tend to be in the middle of section of the beach. I had a great time and possibly the best beach in Sitges.
