That place is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. I had an amazing time at Costa Brava, taking in the stunning views, exploring the wild nature, visiting Rick's, and breathing in the fresh sea air. If you're looking for a great way to experience the beauty of the area, take the scenic route along the coast and be amazed by the breathtaking sights.

The beach had a great sandy shoreline. When we arrived, it was quite crowded, but there was still plenty of space on the beach and to swim in the sea. The waters were shallow, making it ideal for paddling. Snorkeling was great too, with plenty of fish to spot. Parking was easy to find and inexpensive (€3 for the day). There were also a few places to get food and drinks from on the beach, which we highly recommend.

This location was a real gem! It was far more beautiful than the busy and overpopulated Palamos beach. A perfect spot to relax and take in the stunning views.
