With the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the coastal mountain range on the other, Vilassar de Mar is blessed with both stunning beaches and scenic rolling hills in its immediate surroundings.
The town enjoys a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. During the summer months, temperatures typically range from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), making it ideal for beach-goers and outdoor events.
