Platja del Borro

This is a great place.

La Fosca beach
8 Abel Crofton

The beach had a great sandy shoreline. When we arrived, it was quite crowded, but there was still plenty of space on the beach and to swim in the sea. The waters were shallow, making it ideal for paddling. Snorkeling was great too, with plenty of fish to spot. Parking was easy to find and inexpensive (€3 for the day). There were also a few places to get food and drinks from on the beach, which we highly recommend.

Portitxol Beach
8 Aria Z W

This beach is a peaceful and beautiful spot with a few sandy beaches, a restaurant, and a couple of bars. Parking costs 1.50 euros per hour, but you can park for free in the residential area just a 10-minute walk away.

Fonollera Beach
8 Ashley

This beach is a tranquil paradise, boasting stunning views of the Medes islands. Visitors can explore the Gola del Ter and partake in kayaking, while their furry friends can take a dip in the sea on the other side of the inlet.

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.

Playa de Sant Feliu
8 Robbie Holcombe

This quaint little town is a delightful place to spend a day in the sun. Sitting on the terrace, taking in the warmth of the day, was truly a pleasure. However, the beach here was a bit strange. It felt artificial, likely due to the lack of waves. It was more like a small pond than a beach.
