Paya de Aro
8 Felix

A great spot for a day in the sun! There's plenty of room to spread out and plenty of activity, making it a great place for snorkeling. You'll be able to spot a variety of aquatic life when you take a dip. The sand and water are also kept clean, and there are plenty of eateries nearby. If you're feeling adventurous, take a short walk to the downtown area, which is close by.

L'Estartit Beach
6 Sofia Santos Martinez

The beach may have a shallow depth of water, but it's not ideal for all ages. The water temperature is bearable, but the sand is not as fine as expected. There are beach bars, toilets, and showers, but the parking is limited and may not be free.

Platja de Sant Pol
8 Kaiya Lynn

Platja de Sant Pol is simply stunning. The crystal clear blue water is perfect for swimming and snorkelling, although there isn't much to see. If you follow the rocky path around the calas, you'll find even more swimming spots. Plus, the beach is easily accessible, making it a great spot to visit.

Platja d'En Calau
6 Mikayla Manning

This is a very kid-friendly beach with a beautiful setting and golden sand.

Cala Pedrosa
8 Danielle

This place is mostly made up of stones, but its location is excellent and it even has free public entry.

Platja Sa Tuna
10 Ivy

This Cala is absolutely stunning, with a strong local vibe and plenty of families enjoying themselves. Additionally, there are some excellent restaurants to choose from. However, parking can be a bit challenging, so it's recommended to park in the nearby streets, such as those near the tower house, and walk down to the beach. The water is incredibly clear, but like many beaches in Costa Brava, it tends to be rocky, so it's always a good idea to wear water shoes.
