Local tips

The bay is sheltered from the strongest storm winds, so it can be clean when other Costa Brava beaches are blown out. Check whether the outside reef is breaking before you choose a peak.

Travel notes

How often it works
It breaks only now and then: it needs a strong easterly or south-easterly storm, so most surfable days come between October and March. Summer is mostly flat.

Quiet: often empty in the week and only a few surfers on weekends, as it is far enough from Barcelona.

Camping Valldaro, near Platja d'Aro, is about 2.5 km north. Nearest campsite about 2.5 km away.

A town beach with a promenade, bars and restaurants, showers, adapted toilets, a Red Cross post and a water-sports school.
