Positive experience: A charming little beach. Parking can be a problem; we were there one Sunday in October, and it was difficult. If I hadn't seen anything, only heard it, I would have felt like I was in Germany. The beach was dominated by German tourists. Mała urocza plaża. Może być problem z zaparkowaniem, my byliśmy w jedną niedzielę w październiku i wtedy było ciężko. Jakbym nie widział tylko słyszał to miałbym wrażenie że jestem w Niemczech. Plaża zdominowana było przez turystów z Niemiec.
Fantastic experience: We had a great stay in an apartment directly overlooking the beach. The only downside was all the stairs.
Positive experience: Beautiful little beach outside of Rosas, clean, easy to access, pleasant swimming.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, clear water. You just have to arrive before 9:30 AM to find a parking spot and a place on the beach. Fine sand beach, and 2 lifeguards.
Fantastic experience: Very nice little beach with clear waters, some rocks watch your feet and beautiful fish. However, very difficult to park and quite crowded in the summer. A beautiful place.

Fantastic experience: It is a lovely beach! This is a very nice little beach in Roses. It is not too crowded and offers brilliant clear water, soft sand beach and is ideal for families with children. Close by are family owned restaurants (I like the local Paella), a bar and markets. In the evening it is calm and cozy. And it is ideal for a walk with your dog.

Fantastic experience: A magical place, an exceptional setting, fine sandy beach, translucent water, all just 1 hour and 45 minutes from France...
Positive experience: Zandstrand in een mooie baai, bedden en parasols te huur. Parkeren kan - zoals op veel plekken in/rond Roses - in juli uitdagend zijn. Twee restaurants aan het strand, op de weg naast het strand zit een lekkere take-away. Geen openbare toiletten (of niet gevonden ☺️).
Fantastic experience: Muy chula, con arena gruesa (extremo derecho) y también fina en el resto. Zona de rocas en los extremos, aunque había peces por doquier para hacer snorkel. Y en el extremo izquierdo hay sombra de pinos, al menos toda la mañana. Con chiringuito, restaurantes y un parking por 5€/día, en caso que no puedas aparcar por los alrededores. Y agua limpia. Hemos llegado un sábado previo a San Juan antes de las 10 y estaba casi vacía. Muy recomendable, y a muy poco del centro de Roses.

Positive experience: Está bien si quieres un sitio de playa más tranquilo y familiar. Las vistas son preciosas. Por poner algunas pegas... Lo bueno: hay un bar-restaurante cerca, no sé precios, porque no llegué a entrar. Lo malo: hay muchos barcos cerca de la costa (al fondo de la imagen se pueden ver)

Positive experience: Cala de Canyelles Petites. A cove located between Roses and Montjoi. Very fine sand and crystal clear water. Let's get to the important part: It has a lifeguard. There are nearby bars. There is plenty of free parking available on the nearby streets. The cove is very family-friendly and quiet, and it is easy to reach. It is good for snorkeling.

Fantastic experience: Toujours aussi sympa, accueillant et propre ! Dommage que le loueur de transat n'ait pas eu envie de se lever ce jour-là où le soleil a refait surface en quelques minutes !
Fantastic experience: Playa preciosa con agua cristalina. Se ven peces incluso sin gafas. Perfecta para hacer snorkel y paddle surf. Se llena rápido. No hay aparcamiento fácil. Hay uno al lado por 5 euros.

Fantastic experience: Agua cristalina, el camino de ronda y un cóctel en el Beach Club de toda la vida. Un diez.

Fantastic experience: It's MAGIC!!!!...
Fantastic experience: Superb
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach with a beautiful coastal promenade to walk along, clear water.
Fantastic experience: How to feel on vacation when we are just an ordinary Sunday. Superb place where it is so easy to enjoy the sun, the beach, and walks, (not to mention the little restaurant. Perfect for a romantic Sunday.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach in Spain a few kilometers from the French border. You can eat for a reasonable price. For example: starter, main course, dessert for 16 euros. The only downside, as often by the seaside, is that parking spots are scarce and pay-per-use.

Positive experience: Haven of peace in this hyper-touristic region. Don't hesitate to take the Camino de Ronda on either side of the beach. Superb walk!
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach in Rosas with two restaurants. However, very difficult to park in October, so in peak season, I can't even imagine!
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach, but difficult to park nearby. That said, your efforts will be rewarded.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, highly recommended!
Positive experience: A small beach with very fine sand, and very clear water. It's a shame because the toilets and showers are out of order.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful bay with clear water and a clean beach. In September, it's not too crowded during the week and also on weekends. The area all the way to the right is not sandy but has small stones; the water there is also very stony, but it is a wonderful, quiet place to relax in the bay, although there isn't much space. For swimming, the larger part at the sandy beach is recommended.
Fantastic experience: Super quiet little beach, near Roses.
Fantastic experience: During the day spectacular... at night supreme.

Fantastic experience: We love this little beach
Fantastic experience: Superb beach by day and night...
Positive experience: The cove is very nice, but like almost the entire coast, it is almost impossible to park even though it is already September, and the only parking available is an empty lot where there is a man sitting in a garden chair with a sign that says '5€'... I wonder if it's legal, to be honest, the rest of the parking spots for the millions of apartments stuck all over the cliffs clearly weren't taken into account by the coastal law.
Positive experience: Very beautiful little beach, clean, however I advise everyone to park on the adjacent streets to find a spot because there is not a lot of space. Disadvantages are that the outdoor showers to rinse off do not work.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful place to swim and walk.
Fantastic experience: First of all, it’s complicated to find a parking spot but honestly, it’s worth it because this little beach is beautiful and the path along the sea gives us an extraordinary view.
Fantastic experience: Super
Fantastic experience: Great
Positive experience: Clean but overcrowded in summer
Fantastic experience: A peaceful and very beautiful place GREAT
Positive experience: Cala de Canyelles Petites. A cove located between Roses and Montjoi. Very fine sand and crystal clear water. Let's get to the important part: It has a lifeguard.
