Barcelona's proximity is no barrier to finding idyllic coastal spots. The geography of the Garraf region offers sandy and rocky coves where the massif meets the sea between Castelldefels and Sitges. Garraf beach, with its fishermen's huts and train stop, is one of the most accessible and picturesque.

Further south, Cala Morisca provides a nudist-friendly environment accessible by road with a small parking area. Before reaching Sitges, one can find spots like Vallcarca beach or Caleta de Sitges.

Sitges, with its unique coastline, hides several urban coves. Marina d'Aiguadolç, next to the port, and Balmins beach, considered one of the city's most beautiful, are notable examples. Sant Sebastià beach, with its iconic parish church, leads to other urban beaches further south.

Between Sitges and Vilanova i la Geltrú, a steep coastal path reveals rocky coves reminiscent of the Costa Brava, such as Platja i Cala de l'Home Mort, Cala dels Gegants, or Gaspar beach, before reaching the Sant Cristòfol lighthouse.

In the Maresme region, particularly between Sant Pol de Mar and Calella, there are areas that echo the beaches further north in Girona. Murtra beach, which allows nudism, precedes the Roca Grossa area, featuring coves like la Vinyeta, d'en Pere, and Rocapins, although access can be more challenging.

The initial coves of the Costa Brava are nearby, starting in Blanes past Sa Palomera. Sant Francesc cove (Cala Bona) is accessible from the port. Further on, towards Lloret, lie the coves of Treumal, Santa Cristina, and Boadella, before reaching the larger, more touristy sandy areas like Fenals.
