Platja De Les Roques D’en Lluc is a quaint, hidden sanctuary amongst other larger, more crowded beaches in Barcelona, Spain, with both fine and medium-grained sand. Several cliffs surround a little stretch of sand and piles of rocks on the southern edge of Urbanitzacio Les Villes, making the beach the perfect place to visit for a bit of isolation and a break from the big city centre.
Slightly northeast of Barcelona in Arenys de Mar by the bunker at Punta del Canyadell, the small, cove-like escape of Platja De Les Roques D’en Lluc is open to the public any hour of the day.
