Platja de Fenals, Mediterranean beach in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
Platja de Fenals is a 726-metre urban beach of very coarse sand in Lloret de Mar, with an average width of 45 metres and a steep entry into the water. It lies between the rocky coves of sa Boadella and Lloret, and the riera d'en Passapera reaches the sea at its centre. A pine grove begins at the Racó d'en Sureda on the sa Boadella side, and the remains of the Castell de Sant Joan stand on the promontory at the other end.
Fenals takes its name from the stream, the riera d'en Passapera, that reaches the sea at the centre of the beach; the Catalan Wikipedia notes that the name Fenals was also used for the Barri de Fenals or Fenals d'Aro until the mid-20th century. The beach lies between Sa Boadella and Lloret beach, and at one end a promontory, the highest point of Lloret's coast, holds the remains of the Castle of Sant Joan.
The beach takes its name from the Fenals stream, whose mouth, the riera d'en Passapera, reaches the sand in the central section. On the Sa Boadella side, a pine grove begins at the Racó d'en Sureda and runs along the edge of the beach. The Catalan Water Agency tests the water every fortnight during the bathing season.
The beach has accessibility features including adapted walkways, specialized toilets, and showers with footbaths for all visitors. Floating chairs are also available to help people with reduced mobility enjoy the water safely.
