Platja del Canadell

Platja del Canadell is a sandy beach with golden sand situated along the Mediterranean coast in Palafrugell. The cove measures approximately 210 meters long and 27 meters wide, with gently shelving waters suitable for swimmers of all levels.

This location evolved from a small fishing settlement into a sought-after beach destination for affluent visitors during the 20th century. Tourism and coastal development transformed the quiet village into a popular swimming spot.

The beach is woven into village life, serving as a natural gathering point where locals swim, walk, and meet throughout the day. This everyday use shapes how the community connects with the Mediterranean and with each other.

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.

During winter months and leading up to Sant Joan festival on June 23rd, the beach takes on a quieter character with fewer visitors present. This makes it a peaceful alternative for those seeking a less crowded experience of the seaside.
