Lloret de Mar Costa Brava has a 10km stretch of coastline. The main beach of Lloret is a 1.6 km long and consists of coarse sand flanked by high rise hotels, apartments, shops, bars and restaurants. The beach consistently wins the European Blue Flag for cleanliness. Watersports are available, including water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing or sea kayaking. The beachfront has a range of traditional tourist food and drink facilities.
One km south west from Lloret de Mar town centre is Fenals Beach which is about half the size of the main beach but is equally well served with bars and sports facilities. The Maritime Club provides sailing courses and boat hire. Further down the Costa Brava coast is the beautiful bay of Sa Boadella, a 250 metre stretch of sand in a beautiful natural setting. This is a quieter beach with fewer services but there is a beach bar and ice cream parlour. Santa Cristina, 3 km south west of the town is a lovely 450 metre beach where the pines and lush vegetation cover the cliff face almost down to the water's edge. This is the only one of Lloret's beaches with very fine sand. To the north east of Lloret is Canyelles Beach with its yacht marina and plenty of bars, shops and restaurants. Between the main sandy beaches and further afield along the Costa Brava coast there are plenty of small, sheltered coves, unspoilt beaches and pretty fishing villages practically untouched by modern tourism.
Travel north to L'Estartit and you can take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat to the islands of Las Medas, once a refuge for pirates and smugglers but now a protected nature reserve where more than one thousand species of marine life flourish. Visit Water World a water park just outside Lloret on the road to Vidreres. Just south of the neighbouring resort of Blanes is the Marineland complex with dolphin, sea lion and parrot shows, water slides, a reptile house, children's zoo and boating lake.
