If you already know about coast path, from Hotel Acapulco we would like to propose you to choose the south way of this path, walking through small beaches joining Lloret de Mar and the neighbour city of Blanes.

This part of the path combines excellence in beauty of Costa Brava, extraordinary natural landscapes, and botanic gardens. It’s recommended to every season, to enjoy silence, the sound of waves and seagulls.

Thus, you start again your path from Lloret de Mar front beach but now going south, direction to Cala Banys, a very accessible small rocky beach. To arrive to it, you go upstairs and pass next to Dona Marinera, a 2.40m. tall bronze sculpture made by Ernest Maragall in 1966, tribute to those women who had to go ahead with their family while their men were in searching of fortune, further than Atlantic.

From here, the coast path is lost, due to these years of property-development. You have to follow upstairs on your right side, next to the only bar in Cala Banys, and walk the sand path until you find Sant Joan Castle of Lloret.

This castle is one of the few reminders of Lloret de Mar medieval time; origins are not clear, although we know that during s.X the castle was already part of Count of Cabrera properties. In 1805, the castle was attacked and bombed by British army, and the remaining rests you can visit are the consequence of refurbishment done between 1990 and 1992.

Don’t leave the path, and already inside Fenals neighbourhood, you will go downstairs to Fenals beach. This is the second longest beach in Lloret, 700 meters from one end to another. Invalidated by the amount of properties built during the last years, Fenals offer some of the most beautiful corners, if you follow the beach path to the south end, from where you can take a small path between the forest, turning left if you want to go to Fenals balcony, or turning right if you want to follow the path to Santa Clotilde.

The path turns to road, and you have to walk for about a couple of minutes in zigzag until you find your link with Santa Clotilde gardens entrance. Being private, these gardens are one of the most important, natural, landscapes and architectonic heritage in Lloret, and you can visit them paying a very cheap fee. Placed over a cliff with fantastic views over the Mediterranean Sea, these gardens show the true spirit of “novecento” movement in Catalunya. It’s worth to stop here and admire every green, natural corner, its neoclassic marble statues and bronze mermaids made by Maria Llimona.

Following the same way up, you’ll find access to Sa Boadella, a small beach in nudist tradition, almost virgin, combining Costa Brava enchantment and space of widest beaches in Lloret.

You return to road and continue going up. This part of the way has no more enchantment rather than arriving to Santa Cristina, one of the most emblematic beaches in Lloret. Lloret de Mar celebrates its festivity each 24 July, sanctifying Santa Cristina. You arrive to Santa Cristina beach through small path on your left side, before entering main Santa Cristina’s Church Square. Once in the beach, Santa Cristina is “divided by two” by two rocks in the middle of the beach, but this it’s not true, so it’s in these rocks where Santa Cristina ends and starts Cala de Treumal, the last of the beaches property of Lloret de Mar. After this, you enter into Blanes council. You can return to the church through a small path going up from this beach, and after this, to the main road to Lloret de Mar.

At this point you can choose between returning from where you have come from, direction Lloret de Mar, or following the road around Sant Francesc neighborhood direction Blanes.

If you take the second choice, this part of the way needs to be done by road, but you will cross next to two botanic gardens worth to visit: Pinya de Rosa and Mar i Murtra, before passing through Santa Barbara church, Sant Joan of Blanes castle and finally, Blanes beach.

Once in Blanes, you can return to Lloret by regular bus, if you feel too much tired to go back to Lloret walking. It takes two hours to go walking one way from Lloret de Mar to Blanes (about 6kms.).
