Platja de les Gavines, Mediterranean beach in Cubelles, Spain
Platja de les Gavines is a sandy beach in Cubelles that stretches along the Mediterranean coast with gentle access to the water. The shore offers open space for swimmers and visitors to settle along the sand during daylight hours throughout the year.
The cove is split by the Riera Mas d'en Pedro: the eastern half belongs to Cubelles, the western half to Cunit. Les Gavines lies within the protected Garraf coast natural area and is bounded on the east by the Cubelles marina basin, which separates it from Platja de les Salines.
The Riera Mas d'en Pedro divides the cove into two halves: the eastern half belongs to Cubelles, the western to Cunit, and the beach takes its name from the gavines, the seagulls that frequent the shore. Bathers share the sand with the surveillance and lifeguard service posted during the season.
The beach is most inviting during summer months when water and weather conditions are favorable for swimming and relaxation. Arriving early in the day or later in the afternoon helps visitors find more comfortable spots and avoid the strongest midday sun.
The 250-metre cove is split in two by the Riera Mas d'en Pedro: the eastern half belongs to Cubelles, the western half to Cunit. The beach lies within the protected Garraf coast natural area, and the Catalan Water Agency tests its water every fortnight during the bathing season, rating it excellent.
