How to Get to Playa de Can Tano

Getting to Playa de Can Tano is surprisingly simple, making it a very accessible option for any type of visitor. We always value ease of access, and in this case, Montgat makes it very easy for us.

By Public Transport

The most comfortable and ecological way to get there is by train. The R1 line of Rodalies de Catalunya, which runs along the entire Maresme coast, has a stop in Montgat. From Montgat station, the beach is just a few minutes' walk away, a pleasant stroll that will let you start feeling the sea breeze. It's a fantastic connection if you're coming from Barcelona or other coastal towns.

You can also opt for the bus, with several lines connecting Montgat with nearby municipalities and the Catalan capital itself. The bus network is efficient and will drop you off a comfortable distance from the beach, making your arrival even easier.

By Car

If you prefer the comfort of a car, Playa de Can Tano is accessible via the C-31 or the B-20 (Ronda Litoral). Montgat has street parking areas nearby, although during the summer months it can be a bit more difficult to find a spot, as is common in most Barcelona beaches. Our recommendation is to arrive early to secure a good spot or consider public transport to avoid worries. There are some regulated parking areas and, sometimes, small paid parking lots in the vicinity.

The Sand and Water

One of the biggest attractions of Playa de Can Tano is, without a doubt, the quality of its sand and the purity of its waters. For us, these are key elements that define an exceptional beach experience.

Fine Golden Sand

The sand at Can Tano is fine and has a beautiful golden color that shines under the Mediterranean sun. It's incredibly pleasant to the touch, perfect for walking barefoot, building sandcastles with the kids, or simply lying down and relaxing. You won't find annoying rocks or pebbles that make walking difficult, making it ideal for all ages. We love feeling the softness of the sand between our toes while walking along the shore.

Calm and Crystal Clear Waters

The waters of Playa de Can Tano in Montgat are another of its great strengths. They are notably calm and, on good weather days, present a transparency that invites you for a swim. The shore has a gentle slope, meaning the depth increases gradually, making it a very safe place for children and for those who don't feel comfortable in deep water. The cleanliness of the water is something we always highlight; you can see the care and respect for the environment, allowing us to enjoy a refreshing and safe swim.

Safety is paramount, and knowing there are professionals looking out for us is a big plus. Furthermore, you'll find Showers to rinse off the salt and sand after your swim, as well as public Bathrooms/WCs, which are indispensable for a worry-free day at the beach.

Leisure and Dining Options

For those moments when you fancy a refreshment, an ice cream, or even a snack, the beach usually has Chiringuitos right on the sand. These establishments are perfect for enjoying local gastronomy without straying too far from the sea. It's also common to find Sunbed and Parasol rental services, allowing you to travel lighter and secure a comfortable spot to rest in the sun. We always appreciate the possibility of renting a parasol on the hottest days.
