Els Capellans beach, also known as Santa Anna beach, is a small, natural pebbly area located behind the port of Blanes, near the Marimurtra Botanical Garden. This beach is easily accessible by foot or car and offers a peaceful, low-density atmosphere. It marks the start of the Costa Brava, a region known for its rugged coastline and picturesque beaches. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty and historical sites, including the 11th-century castle of Sant Joan and the 16th-century watchtower.
The beach itself is not large, with about 15 meters of pebbles and coarse sand, making it less crowded than other nearby beaches like S'Abanell. This makes Els Capellans ideal for those seeking a more secluded spot. However, it lacks extensive facilities compared to larger beaches in Blanes, keeping its surroundings relatively undisturbed and natural.
Visitors to Els Capellans can enjoy the tranquility of the area and explore the nearby attractions without the hustle and bustle associated with larger beaches.
