"When the train pulls into Montgat Nord station, a mere 20 minutes northeast of Plaça Catalunya, you'll feel as if you could leap from the platform straight onto the squishy white sand. Exit the station the conventional way; there are stairs to the right, a ramp to the left, and then, before you, some 30 meters of sand standing between you and the water's edge. One of Montgat's best facilities is Escola de Mar, where you can rent paddle boards, sailboats, and surfboards." - Gemma Askham
