Platja de s'Abanell

Platja de s'Abanell stretches along the Catalan Costa Brava, immediately near Blanes, in the Girona province. Located about 60 kilometers north of Barcelona, this section of the Mediterranean coast is characterized by a succession of coves and fine sandy beaches framed by moderate limestone cliffs. The hinterland consists of typical Mediterranean vegetation, umbrella pines and junipers, descending to the first levels of the beach. The turquoise waters, shallow at the edge, reveal the rocky substrate characteristic of this rocky coast alternating with sandy pockets. The beach itself offers a strip of golden sand, relatively narrow, which gradually widens towards the center. Unlike Platja de Blanes, located just 1.5 kilometers away and much more frequented, s'Abanell retains a more discreet, less urbanized character. Punta de Santa Anna, 2 kilometers to the south, marks a transition towards more pronounced rock formations. Exposure to easterly winds makes it a dynamic site, where the sea often shows slight agitation even during calm periods. The depth gradually increases, making swimming accessible to swimmers of all levels. No permanent facilities are reported on site: no lifeguard station, no showers, or equipped toilets. Access is not adapted for people with reduced mobility. The beach does not have the Blue Flag label. This configuration makes it a less structured place than its immediate neighbors, where visitors must anticipate their needs and prefer autonomy over convenience.

About this spot

The name s'Abanell derives from the Catalan 'abanell,' a diminutive of 'abà' (father), an ancient reference to a hermitage or small oratory dedicated to a patron saint. This micro-toponymy is common on the Costa Brava, where isolated chapels once marked visual landmarks for fishermen and sailors. Blanes, the neighboring town, developed as a fishing port as early as the Middle Ages; s'Abanell constitutes its natural extension to the north. In the early 20th century, before the tourist boom of the 1960s, these beaches mainly hosted local fishing boats and a few families from inland areas for summer festivals. Today, it remains one of the few stretches of the Blanes coastline preserved from urban development.
