Sitges Beaches – Facts

Water quality: The waters are clean and clear. Visibility under water is much better than on Barcelona’s city beaches.

Waves: Since the shore is very shallow, the waves tend to break some 50 metres before hitting the beach. Southerly winds create a nice surf.

Showers: Yes, all Sitges beaches dispose of fresh water outdoor showers to wash off the salt. However, the use of shampoo is forbidden since the water flows back to the sea unfiltered.
