Located a few kilometers north of Barcelona, the Costa del Maresme is framed between the Coastal Mountain Range and the Mediterranean Sea. It borders to the north with the Costa Brava (Province of Gerona) and with the Costa del Garraf (south of the city of Barcelona).

Protected from the north winds by the Coastal Mountain Range, the region has become, thanks to the mildness of the climate, the Mediterranean luminosity of the landscape and its ideal geographical location, a residential and tourist area of the first magnitude.

In its 55 km of coastline, the Maresme coast has 54 beaches and coves, where you can find everything from urban beaches, with all kinds of services, to the most natural beaches.

The large centers of tourist attraction and very well-equipped residential areas, with excellent hotels, restaurants, campsites, leisure places and facilities for all kinds of sports, have been established around the coastal towns, and tourism has become the main economic source of the region, offering visitors exquisite service and a high level of quality.

The incredible beaches of Maresme

It is well known that the Costa del Maresme is famous for having the most beautiful beaches and coves near Barcelona. Furthermore, in its charming beach towns you will find the tranquility that you are looking for after the exhausting work day. The coves of this coast boast golden sands and clean, deep waters, all surrounded by rock formations that facilitate perfect integration in a dreamlike sea-mountain environment.

Beaches, on the other hand, are usually found in non-crowded semi-urban environments; They are frequented by locals, and are characterized by their fine sand and proximity to leisure and restaurant areas. They are ideal to share with the little ones in the family. From Playa del Masnou, to Playa de Ponent or Playa de la Alella, ideal for surf lovers, on this coast there are kilometers of beach to relax, have fun, do sports or enjoy with the family.

On the other hand, Calella, Pineda de Mar, Santa Susanna and Malgrat de Mar have the “Family Beach” certification. These towns offer facilities and services designed for family holidays in which you can enjoy mini clubs on the beaches, adapted menus in restaurants, high chairs and changing tables, children's entertainment, etc.

Nature and activities

It is a region with a pleasant climate that is full of activity throughout the year. In recent decades it has been equipped with facilities that accommodate almost all demands, covering family, sports and even gastronomic tourism. Obviously, from the Maresme hotels you can enjoy the sun and the beach, but also golf, horseback riding, the mountains and the rich culinary diversity of its restaurants.

Fishing is concentrated in Arenys de Mar, the first fishing port on the Maresme coast, although it also has other sports port facilities such as El Masnou or Puerto Balís, in San Andrés de Llavaneras, the port of Mataró and the port of Premiá de Mar. In addition, the towns of San Pol de Mar and Arenys de Mar have been distinguished as fishing villages by the Catalan Tourism Agency.

The Maresme coast also offers its visitors the possibility of enjoying its three natural parks. Possibly the best known is the Montnegre and Corredor Park. But we must also highlight the Sierra del Litoral Park where the small mountains and hills are formed around three areas: Conreria, Sant Mateu and Céllecs. And the third, the Serra de Marina park is an oasis of nature in the middle of a highly urbanized environment.

We continue going up the coast of the Costa del Maresme to reach El Masnou, which is known above all for its modernist architecture, for its wide beaches where you can surf and for the Puerto del Masnou, a fantastic restaurant and leisure center that comes alive a lot on summer nights. El Masnou is one of the most unknown and most surprising coastal towns in Maresme. Among its notable visits, in addition to the various modernist buildings, you have some water mines from the last century that can be visited inside. Furthermore, in neighboring Alella you can enjoy some very interesting DO Alella vineyards, the best thing is to do a tasting in one of the Alella wineries. This city is the capital of the Maresme region and the most important on this coast.

In addition to the wide beaches where you can enjoy the fantastic Mediterranean climate and the wide range of activities that you will find on the beaches of Mataró, you have many plans to do in this city. Mataró perfectly combines a rich heritage with a first-rate Mediterranean environment. Among the highlights regarding cultural heritage, there is the Roman legacy of the ancient city of Iluro and the beauty of the baroque complex of the Chapel of Sorrows in the Basilica of Santa María, as well as works of Catalan Modernisme such as the Navede Gaudí, the first work of the modernist architect Antoni Gaudí and currently the headquarters of the Museum of Contemporary Art. A family holiday on the Costa del Maresme will not disappoint you and among its strong points is the lack of overcrowding, compared to the other most famous coasts of the Catalan coast, something that is very important today.
