What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Les Escaletes is a beach whose most recognisable feature is its access: reaching the shore requires descending stairs. Its 225-metre length and barely 10-metre width form a narrow strip of golden sand and rock in the urban setting of Sant Pol de Mar. The waters are usually calm and occupancy is medium, although the beach may disappear depending on storms. Signposted access is on foot, and there is also an interurban bus connection; the beach itself has showers, a cleaning service and food outlets.
