Pineda de Mar

Costa Brava, Spain

Pineda de Mar is where you go on the Costa Brava for a laid-back holiday. Family-friendly with an outstanding 3 km beach and the nearby Montenegre National Park make it a haven from the hustle and bustle of life for a week or two.

The town itself is a perfect mix of old and new with a welcoming, safe atmosphere. Families congregate every evening in the cobbled streets and squares to eat, drink and enjoy themselves. There's also a cute harbour where you watch the twilight turn to night.

Pineda's main beach is perfect for families and safe swimming. There are plenty of sun beds and loungers and always enough space.
