About 300 meters before reaching the hermitage along the track from Òrrius, on the left, dry stone walls are preserved, the remains of a shelter used by Republican militiamen during the Civil War. It's not signposted, but it's visible if you get off your bike and explore a bit. The surroundings are very peaceful and steeped in history: the hermitage was also used as a temporary shelter.

The Dolmen of Can Boquet, also known as Roca d'en Toni, is a megalithic structure in Catalonia. The name Roca d'en Toni probably comes from the fact that, according to 19th century records, the landowner was called Toni Puig.

Beach located next to the breakwater of the El Masnou marina, which has numerous services. It is made of fine sand and has a fairly steep entrance to the sea. The beach is accessed through an underpass that crosses the N-II. At the southern end of the El Masnou marina, this beach of fine, yellowish sand extends with an entrance to the sea characterized by its steep slope. It has a length of about 1,100 meters and a variable width that decreases as it meets Alella beach (Can Teixidó). Protected by the marina's breakwater, next to which the Alella stream flows (normally dry), it has several services: leisure areas for the little ones, showers, toilets, security services and beach bars where, in addition to refreshments, they offer foods.
