Lloret de Mar was our little home for 4 months: we arrived for a short stay and, we ended up staying more. And little by little we got to know it: far more than the party destination many people imagine, Lloret has paths full of nature, trees and cliffs, a clean, crystal-clear sea, and some of the most beautiful coves on the Costa Brava.
In this guide we share the best things to do in Lloret de Mar, with prices updated for 2026.

1. The Camí de Ronda
For us, the best thing about Lloret. The Camí de Ronda is the old coastal path of the Costa Brava (today part of the GR 92), and in Lloret it runs past cliffs, pine trees and hidden coves. There are two stretches: towards Blanes and towards Tossa de Mar. The Tossa stretch is about 12 km with steep climbs and descents, so you need to be reasonably fit; if not, just walk one section to a cove.
2. Sa Caleta and Castell d’en Plaja
At one end of Lloret beach is Sa Caleta, the fishermen’s cove, and above it stands Castell d’en Plaja, Lloret’s most famous photo. Although it looks medieval, it’s a summer house built in 1935. Today it’s called Castell de Lloret and you can visit the inside: it has a virtual experience about climate change and a bar.
3. The Dona Marinera
At the end of Lloret beach, on the rocks, stands this 2.40-metre bronze sculpture by Ernest Maragall, a tribute to the wives of sailors. Legend has it that if you look out at the horizon and touch her right foot, your wish will come true.
4. The Santa Clotilde Gardens
A gorgeous Italian Renaissance-style garden, with terraces, sculptures and stairways of greenery facing the sea. It’s a peaceful place to stroll and enjoy the views.
| Santa Clotilde (2026) | Details |
|---|---|
| Ticket | €6.10 (reduced €3.10) |
| April to October | 10:00 to 20:00 |
| November to January | 10:00 to 17:00 |

5. Lloret beach and the seafront promenade
The main beach is more than a kilometre and a half long, with all services and lifeguards from 15 May to 15 October. The seafront promenade, packed with bars and restaurants, is perfect for a walk.
6. Fenals beach
About 700 metres of coarse sand in a calmer bay than the main beach, with full services and a Blue Flag. Coastal trails start from here.

7. Sa Boadella
A cove of about 250 metres among pine trees, reached by a 200-metre dirt path from the Santa Cristina road. It’s a beach with a nudist tradition, where nudism is allowed.
8. Santa Cristina beach and its hermitage
A sheltered beach with calm water, perfect for swimming. About 3.5 km from the centre, the 18th-century Santa Cristina hermitage has an outstanding viewpoint over the coast; its main festival is on 24 July.
9. Cala d’en Trons
One of those little hidden coves you discover while walking the Camí de Ronda. One of our favourites for a quiet dip.
10. The church of Sant Romà
In the historic centre, the church of Sant Romà combines an early 16th-century Gothic façade with colourful Modernista domes added in the early 20th century. Very different from what you’d expect.
11. Castell de Sant Joan
A medieval tower on the hill between Lloret and Fenals, documented since 1041, with panoramic views of the coast. Heads up: it’s no longer free, a ticket costs €3.10, and from October to May it only opens on weekends and public holidays, in the morning.
12. Tossa de Mar, 20 minutes away
If you’re in Lloret, don’t leave without visiting Tossa de Mar and its walled old town: a 20-minute bus ride (€2.80) or, if you’re up for it, the Camí de Ronda on foot.
How to get to Lloret de Mar
From Barcelona, the Moventis (Sarfa) bus leaves from Estació del Nord and reaches Lloret bus station in about an hour, for €12.70 one way or €24.50 return. If you want to explore the Costa Brava at your own pace, renting a car is the best option.
Where to stay in Lloret de Mar
To enjoy Lloret without the noise, look for a place near Fenals or in the higher parts of town; if you’d rather have everything close by, stay in the centre, near the seafront promenade.
