Other beaches of Lloret de Mar that you should not miss
How could it be otherwise and living here, as we mentioned at the beginning of the article, it has been very difficult to make a selection of only 5 beaches and coves, so we have not been able to resist including some more, which we believe, you should visit and that We are sure, you will not regret it.
Lloret de Mar beach
The beach of Lloret de Mar, located in the center of the town, is the best known and the most extensive of all, with more than a kilometer in length. This beach of white and thick sand, is close to most hotels and entertainment areas of the city, so in summer it is very crowded, both tourists and sunbeds and umbrellas.

In addition, all kinds of activities and sports such as volleyball, water skiing, kayaking, jet skis or parasailing are practiced. In our experience, this is the perfect beach to go in the off season, taking advantage of the sunny days to read a good book, have a picnic, walk on the beach, fish or just sit and watch the sea.

Cala dels Frares
La Cala dels Frares is a small rocky cove, located at the foot of a small cliff at the rear of the Castle of Plaja, a short distance walking along the Camino de Ronda from Sa Caleta, which we talked about earlier.
In addition to being quite calm, this cove is very photogenic, with large rocks coming out of the sea, from which it is not uncommon to see a tourist jumping into the sea from the highest rocks, something that we must say, is quite dangerous and therefore, Nothing recommended.
Being a cove in which there is no sand, usually there are not many people, although if this is not an impediment for you, there are good rocks in which to leave the towel and practice a good snorkel.
