    Sitges Gay Beaches

    Sitges' coastline has been a magnet for gay sun-worshippers for decades, and it is hardly surprising, as the town has nine beautiful beaches.

    Sitges boasts a vibrant gay beach scene, particularly around three key areas that cater predominantly to the LGBTQ+ community.

    Platja de la Bassa Rodona serves as the main hub, centrally located and bustling with activity during the peak summer months and the main beach in Sitges town center. For those seeking a more secluded spot, Platja de l'Home Mort offers a nudist beach experience, a bit further from the town center and surrounded by natural scenery.

    Lastly, Playa de las Balmins provides a mixed nudist environment, popular among the gay community and easily accessible from Sitges. These beaches are not only spots for sunbathing but also social hotspots, complete with nearby bars and restaurants enhancing the vibrant local culture.

    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.

    Immediately behind the beach is the Picnic cafe & restaurant. Picnic is open all day long serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have free toilets on the roadside next to the bar.

    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.
