Sitges Gay Beaches

In reality, you will find gay sunbathers on every beach along Sitges' promenade. However, Bassa Rodona (part of Platja de la Ribera, just past the breakwater) is the most gay-popular beach.

Peak season is from the beginning of July to end of September, although you will also find plenty of guys during June (when Sitges Pride takes place) and early October.

It's very easy to find because it is usually full of buff-looking men. From the town, walk along the promenade to the third beach zone, just in front of the (rather good) Hotel Calipolis. In peak season, the area is packed, so if you want a sun bed, it's best to arrive around lunchtime.

The beach has nice beer & cocktail bar that serves drinks all day long and music from around 4pm. You will find a lot of people selling drinks and sometimes massages on the beach during peak season.

One of the biggest advantages of Bassa Rodona is its location. Unlike many gay beaches around the world that require a long walk, a car journey or a trek away from the main tourist areas, Sitges’ main gay beach is right in the centre of town and easy to reach on foot from the hotels, bars and restaurants. You can go from breakfast to beach to cocktails without needing transport.

Immediately behind the beach is the Picnic cafe & restaurant. Picnic is open all day long serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Despite being a good 45-minute walk from town, this nudist beach is surprisingly a popular choice. This may be partly due to the wooded area behind the beach (on the other side of the railway line) that can be as busy as the beach itself!

To get to Platja de l'Home Mort, walk (or take a taxi) to Club Atlantida. Continue along the coastal path past the straight nudist beach, after which you will come to the gay nudist beach.

Be very aware that some sections of the path run very close to the railway line and you proceed at your own risk! This beach is mostly pebbles, so taking an inflatable airbed is recommended.

A limited number of sun loungers and shades are available for hire, and there is a small bar serving (relatively expensive) drinks - so it's a good idea to pack what you think you will need for the day.

If you want to sunbathe nude but without the hassle of walking to and back from the exclusively gay Playa del Muerto, then Playa de las Balmins is for you.

This mixed beach is about a 15-minute walk from the town centre. From Sitges seafront, turn left and continue along the coastal path, past the Church and cemetery.

The first two coves are the most popular with the gay crowd. If you want one, take your own umbrella.

Playa del Muerto is gay beach in Sitges. It's ten minutes in a taxi but nearly an hour to walk from Sitges. Next to Playa del Muerto you'll find Platja de l'Home Mort. The latter is a gay nudist beach.

Playa del Muerto was the first ever gay nude beach in Europe - it's been a gay destination since the 1930s. There's a small bar at the beach. It's worth walking as you'll take in the beautiful Mediterranean coastline.
