Beach overall scores
Platja de les Pots (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the Palamos settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This little cove may be small, but it's undeniably attractive. You'd better bring your rock shoes, as there are plenty of them around, and some areas can be prone to landslides. In summer, it's packed with people and dogs, so if you want to find a spot to lay your towel, you'll need to arrive early. Perfect if you're into snorkeling."

"Nestled close to the city centre, a small cove can be reached via a walkway around the sea with stunning views. Cacti surround the area and further down the shoreline lies a lookout point, perfect for relaxation. In the morning, there is plenty of shade to rest in if desired. Further along the shoreline lies Cala Santa Margarita."

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 Platja de les Pots (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 Platja de les Pots 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.
