Beaches and Coves

BEACHES AND COVES 

By Paula Martínez
In the sea of Catalonia there are differents coasts, the Costa Brava, the Costa Maresme, the Costa Barcelona and the Costa Daurada.

I’m going to tell you about the Costa Brava, that picture show the cities with beach of this area:

                                                              Beaches of Costa Brava.

The Costa Brava is one of the most famous corners of Catalonia and also of the country and where we can still find beautiful coves to get lost and enjoy its crystal water. In this area there are beautiful beaches, coves surrounded by nature, crystal-clear water, quite, charming fishing villages,etc.


This area hasmany kinds of beaches from little isolated coves to wide broad sand bays that stretch for kilometres (eg Pals or Palamos). With a coastline of 158 kilometres (100 miles).  A curiosity of this area is that around the corner of each big beach are usually a smaller cove or cala, normally with better sand or clearer water.


Each beach is unique. If you know where to look you can find the ideal beach for you. You can find fine sand, rock pools, bays for snorkelling, sailing, canoeing, completely natural, or surrounded by bars and restaurants.

Here there are many beaches and you can choose the best for you, either depending on what you prefer or what you need.You can go in a cove if you want be calm with your partner, for example, or to a beach if you want to be with your friends or family and play in the water.

Here I’m going to talk a little about some beaches in the Costa Brava:

Lloret de Mar is very famous for his beach and also for the parties and the night life. The coastline has 700m of largest. Moreover, isa very good place to do watersports like parasailing, flyfish or water ski, and also have a water park, the Waterworld.

Tamariu is another beach situated in the Costa Brava. Families love it, because of its crystal-clear waters. It has a diving club, a sailing club, kayaks for rent and more. The beach is about 180 metres long and 40 metres wide and it is surrounded by trees. 

You can get your feet wet or sandy or just sit back and enjoy the sea breeze at one of the beachside restaurants.

Sant Feliu de Guixols has many coves and beaches of outstanding features, among which are the Bay of Sant Feliu and Sant Pol beach, with its bathing huts features.

They are beaches to live them: where you will enjoy bathing and sun, we invite you to practice some of the many water activities to discover the seabed or enjoy the charm of small coves, scuba diving, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, paddle surfing, snorkel... with a wide range of activities for all ages; as I also propose to make a boat trip to spend a few hours at sea, and know their coast from offshore.
