Things To Do in Santa Susanna

For a meal out, make a beeline for Santa Susanna’s seafront. You’ll find plenty of restaurants along the prom and the streets leading away from it. They’re a real mixed bag, too – Italian, Asian and British eateries all put in appearances, plus there are a few traditional Spanish places dishing up tapas and seafood paella.

Although there are a few bars along the seafront, Santa Susanna stays pretty low-key after dark. If you fancy cranking up the tempo a few notches, head to neighbouring Malgrat. There’s a decent selection of bars and clubs along Bar Street – a taxi takes less than 10 minutes, or you can walk there in half an hour.

Throughout the summer months, stalls pop up along Santa Susanna’s prom each afternoon, piled high with souvenirs and handcrafted goodies like ceramics and jewellery made by local artisans. The stalls stay open ‘til late evening, so they’re great for a pre or post-dinner shopping spree.

Santa Susanna’s town festival – celebrating their patron saint – is held during the second week of August. There’s loads going on, from music and traditional dancing to parades and fireworks. The action takes place in various locations around the town – you can pick up programmes from the tourist office.

Santa Susanna has a trio of beaches – Levante, Escaletes and Dunes – each with course, golden sand. Levante and Dunes are the biggest – both have sunbeds and parasols for hire, and Dunes has a first-rate watersports centre. Backing all 3 is a palm-lined prom, where you’ll find plenty of cafés and ice-cream parlours.
