Although smaller than Lloret de Mar, this friendly modern resort offers a good range of bars and restaurants for the evenings, as well as 2km of clean, coarse sand and interesting shops to while away your time in the day.
Shopping offers souvenirs of local Spanish crafts and pottery as well as beach goodies for the kids.
The promenade is a lively place, with a coastal railway and a regular bus service, both of which run up and down the whole length of the seafront. If you're feeling energetic, the beach at Santa Susana has an extensive range of activities to try out - including windsurfing, a water ski school and even canoes. But don't worry - the beach also has its own lifeguards. You will find a good range of international menus along the seafront as well as fast food in the town. If you head towards the neighbouring resort of Malgrat de Mar, you can discover a host of local restaurants serving fresh fish dishes and Catalan cooking.
