This hidden gem of a beach is perfect for those looking for something a bit more rugged. The wild and untamed nature of the cove makes it a great escape from the typical sandy beaches. With plenty of rocks to explore, you can easily lose yourself in the beauty of the area.

This spot is truly stunning! It's a perfect spot to take a break and admire the scenery. The views are breathtaking, and it's a great place to unwind and enjoy the serenity. Highly recommended!

An ideal location for snorkeling, with its pristine waters and fascinating sea floor. The clarity of the water makes it a great place to explore the depths of the ocean.

This location may be picturesque, but it's not for the faint of heart. The pebbles are smooth, but they are still pebbles, so you may want to wear a swimming costume if you don't want to be uncomfortable. The water is clear, but it's not for the modest.

8 Very good

This beach near Port Lligat was simply stunning! The access was great, with a 70-80 meter concrete path leading down a hill. Plus, parking was free. The only downside was that you had to sit on stones, which some people may not like. All in all, I absolutely adored it!

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

S'Alqueria gran Beach (Girona) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all S'Alqueria gran Beach (Girona) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the S'Alqueria gran Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
