Platja dels Pescadors is a well-regarded beach located in the city of Badalona, Spain. Historically, it was a favored spot for local fishermen, and even today, visitors can spot fishing boats stranded in the sand. The beach is known for its medium grain sand, steep entry slope, and sandy seabed, though some areas have a rocky seabed that gets deep quite quickly. The beach spans 420 meters in length and approximately forty meters in width. The beach offers several amenities including toilets, showers, a rescue service, and a beach bar. For children, there is a play area, while sports enthusiasts can enjoy beach-volley courts. In addition, the beach hosts various sports activities such as aerobic, Tai Chi, and beach football as part of the town's activities. Accessibility is a key feature of Platja dels Pescadors, with a center providing adapted showers, changing rooms, and toilets for disabled individuals.
