A paradise of endless beaches and intimate coves

Pine groves, rocks and golden sand embrace the crystal clear blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
Platja d’Aro’s seafront is a paradise made up of endless beaches and intimate coves. Lovers of nature and the great outdoors will enjoy the variety of settings available, from a vast beach to intimate spots in which the trees practically fold into the sea, leaving just a small, exclusive space in which to bathe.
Long, fine sandy beaches, hideaway coves and walking paths along the old customs patrol routes.
The Platja Gran is a central setting offering a vast, extensive space surrounded by the major tourist services. Cala Rovira is the choice for people who want to enjoy a sma-ller beach, without straying too far from the town centre. To the north lie Cala Sa Cova, Cala del Pi, Cala d’es Canyers and Cala Be-lladona, which are ideal for people looking for peace and quiet and a more unspoilt setting.
To the south lies the magical Sa Conca, a beach combining spaciousness and green areas and which is relatively quiet in terms of people, which together explain why it is often used as a location for film and adver-tising shoots. The enigmatic Cala Pedrosa, which is unknown to many, lies surroun-ded by the distinctive Camí de Ronda de S’Agaró.
A beautiful natural landscape offering emotion, power and surprising nuances.
The Fem Platja! programme harnesses a multidisciplinary team responsible for com-prehensively managing all of the beach-related services: cleaning and maintenance, security and water rescue services, and user accessibility, services and informa-tion. It also works to consolidate the main environmental quality standards, earning distinctions such as the Blue Flag, the Q for Quality Tourism, and the Diploma for Desti-nation Quality Planning.
