Sant Francesc Beach - Blanes

Not far from Lloret towards Blanes is the beautiful little beach of Sant Francesc, surrounded by picturesque woodland (and not forgetting the large expensive villas!) but there is one problem...and that is unless you have some form of transport then it is quite hard to reach from Lloret de Mar or Blanes...not even the boats stop at this beach. There is a very nice restaurant right on the beach where you can get a menu del dia, snack or a drink, so it could be a nice place to bring any friends or family who maybe be visiting you.
Other amenities at the beach are parking for cars & bikes, toilets, showers, sunbeds and pedalos.

Today in Lloret de Mar

Towards the end of September we would now be expecting the temperatures to be on the cooler side especially during the evening and night time but no it's still very hot and humid. These photos are from Lloret seafront today where there is now lots of space on the beach compared to what we have seen during August and the first half of September.

 This car park near the beach now has lots of empty spaces...as from the 16th September you can park for free for the first hour.

September weather in Lloret

Last night we had one of the worst storms for quite some time with loud cracks of thunder lightening which lit up the sky so much it looked like daylight and to top it all hailstones!
Judging by who was online during the early hours of the morning it kept a lot of people from sleeping - me included. This morning however we have a much fresher start to what looks like is going to turn out to be a lovely September day with the current temperature a nice cool 17c and expected to rise to 27c.

This photo is a screen shot from the live webcam showing Lloret de Mar beach taken at 8.30 this morning.

Be on your Guard!

Here is some very good advice to keep you safe from being the victim of the pickpockets who are after your cash and valuables wherever you travel!
