Hiring a boat in Malgrat de Mar
Malgrat de Mar is the last town in the Maresme before the Tordera river and the Costa Brava, with 4 km of beach and no harbour: the Google Maps register returns no boat rental companies based in the municipality. But Blanes is 5 km away, on the other side of the river, with 17 companies, four advertising no-licence boats, and the harbour at the foot of Sa Palomera. From Blanes, Malgrat beach is under 3 miles south and the coves of Sant Francesc and Lloret under 5 north.
The season runs from May to September. Blanes and Malgrat lie south of the tramontana zone; in summer the garbí breeze comes in at midday. Barcelona is an hour by train.
