Gay Beaches in Sitges, Complete Guide: Sitges is one of my favourite small Spanish towns. It’s also one of the most gay-friendly towns I’ve been to, with some great gay beaches.
The thing I like most about the gay beaches in Sitges is that they are easy to access. In many destinations, the gay beaches are quite hidden and it can take a lot of effort to find them. However, in Sitges, the main gay beach is right in your face in front of the town centre.
This post is my guide exclusively for the gay beaches in Sitges, I also have a seperate post for a Complete Gay Travel Guide to Sitges.
Gay Beaches in Sitges
There are 3 gay beaches in Sitges: La Playa De La Bossa Rodona near the centre, Playa De Las Balmins about a 10-minute walk from the centre, and Playa Del Muerto a little further out.
Below I have provided you with full details to find each of these gay beaches in Sitges
Sitges Gay Beach #1 – La Playa de la Bossa Rodona
The main and most popular gay beach in Sitges is La Playa de la Bossa Rodona.
It’s very easy to find and is only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre. You can find La Playa de la Bossa Rodona in front of the Picnic Restaurant, opposite Hotel Calipolis.
While all beaches are open to everyone, you can easily tell this is the gay beach during peak season by the clear divide between one half of the beach having families and the other half having a majority of gays guys on vacation.
See below for its location on a map:
Sitges Gay Beach #2 – Playa de las Balmins
The second gay beach in Sitges is a nudist beach and is a ten minute walk from the town centre. If you are facing the sea turn left and walk up the coast in the direction of the church.
You will have to take some steps to get down to the beach which is set in a small cove. The clientele here can sometimes be quite mixed and not just gay guys, although on my recent visit this June, it was packed with a mainly gay clientele.
Sitges Gay Beach #3 – Playa del Muerto
This gay beach in Sitges is considered to be one of the oldest gay beaches in the world, dating back to 1930! It is definitely worth the effort to travel to.
The final gay beach in Sitges is a little bit further away being a 15 – minute taxi plus walk at the end. The walk can take around 20 minutes give or take, the dots mapped out on google maps will accurately take you through the woods along the paths until you hit a rail track.
At the rail track there is a tunnel underneath, I also saw people carefully crossing the train lines. Other options involve taking a back from town for about 25 minutes plus a 25 minute walk, or you can walk the entire way in about an hour or so.
This is a nudist beach, however this is predominantly frequented by gay guys compared to Playa de las Balmins which can have more of a mix.
And yes, being the furthest away gay beach in Sitges, Playa del Muerto is also known as Sitges’ main gay cruising beach. If you are looking for this part of the beach, start by facing the sea, turn right and work your way along the coves beyond the main sunbathing section.
Final tips for this one, they have a Chiringay beach bar for snacks and drinks (although do pack your own also), there is no signal at the beach so no one is on their phones which I loved, and finally don’t forget a sun umbrella, it is intense!
If you have limited time in Sitges or are just there for the day, I recommend just sticking to gay beach #1 Playa de la Bossa Rodona or #2 Playa de las Balmins. I have to say, #3 did have a special vibe so if you do have the time, go for it!
You will find wherever you go in Sitges you will be surrounded by gay guys anyway, its known as being one of the major gay hotspots in Spain.
Here are all three gay beaches in Sitges mentioned above relative to each other. Enjoy topping up your tan!
