The crescent of Garraf with 33 white-and-green bathing huts, right beside the train stop: calm water, a gentle slope, Blue Flag in 2026 and lifeguards in summer.

The beach of the village of Garraf is the postcard of this whole coast: a crescent of sand wedged between the small harbour and the point, with 33 white-and-green bathing huts in a row on the sand, the railway line behind and the white massif closing the background. It measures a little under 400 metres (sources give between 345 and 380) and about 28 wide, so in August it fills up quickly. The rest of the year it is a quiet village beach, with the train a step away.
Sand, huts and water with no slope
The sand is fine, mixed with stone and the odd pebble near the rocks. The water is calm and gets deep very gradually, which makes it comfortable with small children: they can stand far from the shore. The huts, raised above the sand, are what sets it apart from any other beach on the coast.
What there is on the sand
It has a Blue Flag in 2026. In season there are lifeguards, showers, toilets, bins and daily cleaning, sunbed and parasol hire, hire of pedalos and other boats, a children's area and a sports area. Right on the sand, at the point, are El Chiringuito de Garraf, open all day, and the tablecloth dining room of La Cúpula.
When to swim and when not
The lifeguards work from May to mid-October. In 2026, from 25 June to 31 August, from 10:00 to 19:00, and with shorter hours at Easter, in May, June and September. The good months are June and September: the water is already warm and there is room on the sand. Turismo de España classes it as a high-occupancy beach: in July and August, especially at weekends, come early or late in the day.
Out of season the beach is still a good place to sit in the sun before lunch or to start the climb along the GR 92 towards La Pleta, which leaves from the same village.
Dogs
In high season dogs cannot enter this beach. In Sitges, the beach where dogs are allowed is Vallcarca, at the foot of the Garraf, a few kilometres to the west.
By train, better than by car
The Garraf stop on the R2 Sud is at the beach, about 30 minutes from Barcelona: you get off the train and you are on the sand. By car you arrive by the C-32 (exit 42) or by the bends of the C-31, but there are very few spaces in the village and in summer they fill up first thing.
The beach fits into a perfect day: the coastal path in the morning, a swim and rice facing the sea. It is what the Sunday in Garraf of beach huts, coves and rice suggests.

## Consejos

### The photo, from the breakwater
From the harbour breakwater you see the whole row of huts with the massif behind. First thing in the morning there is nobody in front.

### Water shoes for the children
There is stone mixed with the sand, especially towards the ends.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Can you go with a dog?
In high season, no. In Sitges, the dog beach is Vallcarca.

### Is it good for small children?
Yes: the water is calm, it gets deep gradually, it has lifeguards in summer and the train drops you beside it.

### Is there a lifeguard?
From May to mid-October. In high summer 2026, from 25 June to 31 August, from 10:00 to 19:00.

### Where do I park?
There are very few spaces in the village. If you can, come on the R2 Sud: the stop is at the beach.
