Santa Cristina lies between Fenals and Canyelles beaches, on the coastal path linking Lloret de Mar's coves. It takes its name from the chapel overlooking it.
History & origins
Like Fenals, Canyelles and Boadella, Santa Cristina is one of five Blue Flag-certified beaches in Lloret de Mar, an award granted each year based on bathing water quality and services. Its position away from the town centre makes it a stop along the coastal path rather than a seafront destination.
Heritage & architecture
The chapel of Santa Cristina, which gives the beach its name, stands on the headland overlooking it.
