We have been twice and wouldnt disagree with anything Joby has said, indeed we did park near the dogs and were not bothered by it. However we are in our 60s and if I was looking for a "buckets and spade" holiday for the children I think it is too far from the beach. You would definitly need to use the car and Vilanova is a busy industrial town that you would need to negotiate. My advice based on when my children were small is to consider a beach side site such as Las Dunas at San Pere Pescador or one of the others around there.

No problems with the earlier correspondents except that neither mentions Sitges which is only 10 minutes away by car and has 9 beaches, all sorts of water sports and some nice shops/restaurants. A really nice place as is Vilanova Park.
