A paradise! The sand is so soft and the water is crystal clear. If you want to get the best experience, plan to arrive before 10am and you'll be able to access the parking for an affordable price. It's worth it for the amazing views and atmosphere!

This secluded beach is the perfect getaway spot to avoid the hustle and bustle of the more popular beaches. It's got all the basic amenities you need plus some ancient ruins nearby to explore. Plus, it's a great bargain: 5€ for parking before 1 PM, and 3€ after that!

An incredible natural wonder. The views are breathtaking and the promenades are delightful. It's a perfect spot for a stroll and taking in the beauty of the wild.

That place is far from ideal. The sand is wide, but the water is shallow, making it unsuitable for anyone looking for a real swim. Plus, the restaurants aren't particularly cheap and parking can be a hassle. To top it off, if you decide to take a walk towards Palamos, you'll find nothing but a run-down fishing village.

One of our favorite beaches, with its fine sand and gradual slope into the sea, is an ideal spot for kids. The scenery is breathtaking, and there are some secluded coves that are easily accessible, making it a great place to have all to yourself on many days.
