Platja del Canadell, Blue Flag golden sand beach in Calella de Palafrugell, Spain

Platja del Canadell is a south-southeast facing beach of coarse sand and gravel in Calella de Palafrugell, 191 m long and 17 m wide, with a moderate slope into the water. It is bordered to the west by the Punta de Conill and to the east by a rocky stretch carrying the coastal path to Llafranc, 1 km away. Early 20th-century summer houses line the beach, where old fishermen's huts have been converted into homes.

The beach takes its name from the canyes (reeds) that once grew on its sand. By the early 20th century, elegant summer houses lined the shore, and old fishermen's huts on the sand were converted into dwellings. The current promenade was designed in 1976 by the architect Joan Pericot i Garcia. The houses facing it fall within the protected setting of the Port Bo historic complex.

The name comes from canya, the reeds that once grew on this sand. Fishermen's huts stand directly on the beach, now converted into dwellings, and the houses facing the 1976 promenade by architect Joan Pericot i Garcia, together with those closing the beach's eastern end, fall within the protection zone of the Port Bo historic ensemble.

The beach has lifeguard services, showers, toilets, and accessible ramps for visitors with mobility needs. Early morning or late afternoon visits work well to avoid crowds and enjoy calmer water conditions.
