How to Get to Playa de la Mota de Sant Pere

Getting to Playa de la Mota de Sant Pere is really easy, thanks to Cubelles' good connectivity. We always value easy access, and in this case, we can say it's within everyone's reach.

By Car

If you choose to come by car, the C-32 highway (Autopista de Pau Casals) is the most direct option from Barcelona or Tarragona. The exit to Cubelles will leave you just a few minutes from the beach. You can also take the C-31 or, if coming from further away, the AP-7, then connecting with local roads. Once in Cubelles, you'll find clear signs to the beach area. Regarding parking, there are nearby parking zones, some paid (blue zone) and others free, although the latter tend to fill up quickly in high season. Our recommendation is to arrive early to secure a good spot.

By Public Transport

The train is an excellent alternative, especially if coming from Barcelona. The R2 Sud line of Rodalies de Catalunya stops at Cubelles station. From the station, the beach is a pleasant 15-20 minute walk. The walk is flat and will allow you to discover the charm of the town before reaching the seashore. There are also local bus services connecting the station with the different beach areas, a comfortable option if you prefer not to walk with all your beach gear.

The Sand and Water

One of the aspects that most captivates us about Playa de la Mota de Sant Pere is, without a doubt, the quality of its sand and the clarity of its waters. It's a combination that invites enjoyment and relaxation from the very first moment.

Fine Golden Sand

Here we find fine golden sand that extends along the entire beach. It's perfect for walking barefoot, for children to build their sandcastles, or simply for spreading out a towel and enjoying the sun. Its soft texture is a delight for the feet and gives us that feeling of comfort so desired on a beach day. The sand is constantly cleaned, a plus point that contributes to the Blue Flag award and that we, as visitors, greatly appreciate.

Calm and Crystal-Clear Waters

The waters of Playa de la Mota de Sant Pere are, in general, calm and crystal-clear, with a gentle slope that makes them very safe for swimming. This is especially important if you're traveling with young children or if you simply enjoy a relaxing swim without worrying about strong currents. The water temperature, during the summer months, is pleasantly warm, allowing us to spend long periods cooling off and swimming. The underwater visibility, although it's not a beach for extreme diving, is enough to see the small fish swimming near the shore, adding a touch of curiosity to our dip. We love the feeling of peace these waters convey, inviting us to immerse ourselves and forget everything.

Services and Facilities

Leisure and Dining
