Great nude beach, water shallow, sandy and beds available if wanted. Great bar with good lunch snacks and not too expensive. Well worth a trip More

Although quite a small beach facility it is tucked away from town. About 10/15 minutes walk towards the cemetary. It has sun loungers, sun shades, a beach bar, showers and toilets. There is also a restaurant just raised up from the beach itself. There is presently a card system to conserve water for showering. Although you pay a small fee... More

Great beach bar/ cafe which isn't expensive, great chilled unpretentious beach atmosphere and nice swimming. Not really pervy and good mix of beach goers. Sandy beach, short walk to town and worth a trip. More

I never thought I'd do a nude beach but it was such a great relaxing vacation at this place and at the Hotel Calipolis that i felt I could get away with it. And it was totally fine - no issues whatsoever. More

Balmins is a short 10 minute walk from the town beyond the main church, San Sebastian beach and the new promenade walk below the walled cemetery. The beach has three coves, the first small and quiet, the second largely gay with some sun loungers and then the third main section which is a mix with still lots of local families... More

After many years of visiting Sitges we finally made it to Balmins Beach. Why did we leave it so long? Over the years the other beaches in Sitges have become overrun with illicit beach sellers and so-called masseurs - not the real ones from the local area who have made their living without over-hassling tourists but, the ones who pester...

Easy to get to, half-hourly bus service from centre of Sitges at 1.45euros if you don't fancy the walk. Sunbeds and parasols available. Good cafe. More

Balmans Beach is a great beach just a little further round the coast from San Sebastian Beach. It is a nudist beach and is used both by gay and straight bathers and has three small coves with small sandy beaches. Unlike the main beaches in Sitges it is more informal and bathers are not all lying on lines of sunbeds.... More

This is a nudists beach which is almost exclusively gay on the town side. For a gay nudist you will feel at home here. While I was there large waves keep breaking and there was losts of friendliness in the water! The beach is clean and not too far from places where you can buy drinks and something to eat... More
