With long stretches of sand, this one time fishing village attracts large numbers of tourists each year. It is a relaxed resort favoured by couples and families. Although there are a number of pleasant sandy beaches, many of them drop fairly steeply into the sea. Those with young children will find that the southern end of Platja de Blanes is the safest option. A variety of water sports is available. Wander through the old town and enjoy the architecture, and the narrow streets that open out onto small squares. Attractions in the area include a golf course and a water park. Since Barcelona is so close, a day trip is perfectly feasible. Although one day would hardly do the city justice.
