User reviews
"I highly recommend this beach on the Costa Brava! It's just a one-hour drive north of Barcelona. The beach is clean and the water is crystal clear. It offers great amenities, including a bar, and there's a parking lot available. Just remember that the parking lot closes at 9pm. We spent an hour there and the parking fee was only €1."
Riley Anderson
"The beach is absolutely stunning and is much more suitable for swimming compared to Blanes town beach because it doesn't have a steep drop-off. The drive and walkway to the beach offer breathtaking views. However, the restaurants are a bit expensive considering the quality of the food."
