Coordinates: 41.8885080000, 3.1873160000 (map)

The Canadell beach (Platja Canadell) is a sand beach wedged between the cliff of La Trona in the south and the cape separating Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc in the north. The beach is 200 m long and 27 m wide.

The residential area next to the beach is noted on the list of the cultural heritage objects of Catalonia—most of the buildings here are fishing huts built back in the 18th century. In the late 19th century, wealthy Catalans started erecting lush summer residences next to simple accommodations of fisherfolk. One of the residences hosted the summer stay of the famous Spanish writer Josep Pla, who was born in Palafrugell.
