Costa Brava is an ideal summer vacation destination for families with kids. Family vacations on the Costa Brava are popular for a reason! The main attraction for this type of trip is most certainly the beach, but the Costa Brava coast offers plenty of other entertainment options. There is a lot more going on beyond sandcastle building, crab catching, and seashell collecting!
There are over three dozen family-friendly points of interest at your service, spread out across the coastal stretch. From waterparks, go-kart tracks, horseback riding circuits, to miniature trains, zoos, and even wind tunnels in the Costa Brava, there's no shortage of entertainment for kids (and adults) of all ages. The programming of local festivals and town fiestas, most of which take place in summer, always includes child-friendly activities and shows.
Many holidays and culturally significant events, such as the March of Giants in L'Escala, the Festival of Magic in Torroella de Montgrí, the Circus of La Bisbal de l'Empordà, and Terra de Trobadors in Castelló de Empúries, are first and foremost events for children.
Local businesses in the Costa Brava, and Catalonia in general, tend to be very welcoming to kids, which shows in not just basic amenities like high chairs being available, but also in the warm attitude and grace shown to the littlest visitors. This alone is enough for many parents to continue bringing their families to the Costa Brava again and again!
