Situated in front of the old Fisherman’s District, this beach stretches from the Marina along to the Club Maritim. The fishing boats used to head out to sea from this beach and the fishermen slid them along the sand, placing wooden sleepers underneath and pulling them with a cable. The cable passed through the pulleys of a motor called "la maquina" and over to a concrete block in the sea. A miniature replica of the hut where la maquina was installed can be seen on the beach in front of the block. One of the main attractions of Baix A Mar is the Alpha and Omega statue created by Rafael Bartolizzi. This iron structure rises from the sea and is one of the biggest icons of the Costa Dorada.
