Fantastic experience: For us, the most beautiful beach in the area. Great place, good for swimming and chilling. The beach bar and the service there are very good! The access to the sea is very good for children.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. Rope and access ramp to get out of the water for disabled people.
Positive experience: very nice beach
Negative experience: Unbearable, do not go to this beach in summer, it is full of people, not a spot to rest on the sand, we wanted to go to a cove but it was also crowded, I do not recommend it. You are not going to a beach but to a boat parking lot.
Positive experience: Very beautiful beach with fine sand and clean water (not transparent). There is a long strip of sand but not wide, so you are quickly in the water, and the waves come and go endlessly, it's funny, you feel like you're in a wave pool, but it makes noise. We saw a few women in monokinis, which surprised the kids, but the atmosphere was still good (not vulgar). I recommend it, it's a great beach with some accessibility for people in manual wheelchairs. It's better to get informed beforehand. Magnificent beach, a bit upscale given the prices of restaurants and taverns. Bring your picnic or find reasonably priced places in town.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, with clean water, family-friendly atmosphere, very limited sandy areas, occupied by rentals of pedal boats, canoes, surfboards,... Although they are respectful of bathers, they take up almost 50% of the sand. Area with bars, supermarket and restaurants, discreet and with a variety of cuisines and prices. The beach promenade is calm, short and pleasant, which is crowded every afternoon by the locals of S'agaro, many of whom have their dog pets.
Fantastic experience: Playa perfecta para ir con niños y pasar el día,gran variedad de restaurantes a pie de playa . No se admiten perros hay carteles por toda la playa. Pàrquing de pago de junio a septiembre

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, but the seaside restaurants are expensive and not of exceptional quality
Fantastic experience: We stayed a week at Sant Pol beach and we loved it. The beach with a clean sea and deep water is occupied mainly by locals, there are very few tourists. It offers a relaxed atmosphere, sports and water activities, brunch and tapas bars, and restaurants. Recommended for those avoiding summer rush and crowded places. ❤️

Positive experience: The water was dirty. I don't think it has a blue flag anymore.

Positive experience: Maybe we were not lucky that day, the water was murky and the sand was dust. The beach next to it had clear water and normal sand.
Fantastic experience: The beach is quite large, we visited it on 6/7/2024 and there are several water activities to do, the kids have a lot of fun, it has paid parking, a very beautiful sunset, we liked it a lot. The only problem we saw was that people do not respect the environment, the water at the beach was full of plastic. We removed from the beach remnants of bags, two Coca-Cola containers, and a tupper. It's unfortunate for such a beautiful beach.

Fantastic experience: Plage très agréable. Le côté droit (face à la mer) est plus agréable. Eau translucide et snorkeling sympa avec beaucoup de poissons assez variés. Très belles calanques très proche à pied pour une petite balade. Acces aux rochers facile. Le côté gauche est beaucoup moins bien
Fantastic experience: Accès facile avec parking payant très proche Eau calme et claire. Snorkelling possible Attention ultra bondée (fin août à 10h du matin!)
Fantastic experience: Espectaculars vistes, genial per fer snorkel, s ha de vigilar amb les roques que tallen perquè estan disposades com una barrera és recomanable anar amb calcat A la zona de la cala es pot entrar i sortir còmodament i et trobes una brana , és on es concentra més gent i l aigua és més bruta amb diferència.
Fantastic experience: Aguas cristalinas ideales para realizar snorkel
Fantastic experience: Excelente playa, rodeada de muchas calas, ideal tanto para los que les gusta tumbarse en la arena a tomar el sol como para los que nos gusta hacer snorkel, aguas cristalinas turquesa, zonas de roca alta y media alta, restaurantes a lo largo de la línea de playa, la gente que suele acudir es bastante tranquila, tiene chiringuito de actividades acuáticas.

Positive experience: Serviced and spacious beach. Offers all kinds of entertainment. It has a shallow sandy bottom ideal for children, but this does not make the water as clear as Sa Conca. Often in the afternoon, the wind picks up.
Fantastic experience: Playa larga de arena blanca, diversos servicios, casas modernistas interesantes en el paseo marítimo, baños y hostal de la gabina a la vanguardia desde los años 40 del siglo XX. Todo espectacular.
Positive experience: Bonita playa entre S'agaró y Sant Feliu de guixols, con agua transparente y buenas vistas. Hay diversos restaurantes de varios precios. La playa es el inicio o final de uno de los caminos de ronda más bonitos de la Costa Brava.

Fantastic experience: One of the best experiences I’ve had. My friend and I went on a tour kayaking at this beach. This beach was so beautiful and clear just like these pictures and videos. I will definitely come back here. We went in mid May and it was still a little bit chilly but the tour gave us the wetsuit and we did not feel cold at all. The tour and kayaking experience was amazing and I definitely recommend it to people!

Fantastic experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful bay, luxurious beach, there are small pebbles and also fine sand. The water closer to the shore is murky because of the fine sand, but further it is clean and transparent. There are many restaurants within walking distance. On Sunday, due to the crowding, the beach was more than half filled, but still there weren't many people in the water, making it comfortable. Naturally, there is a wooden promenade nearby equipped with benches and trash bins. One downside is that the showers and foot rinses are not working due to a water shortage in Catalonia. Also, it's problematic to park the car within the nearest 200-300 meters from the beach.
Negative experience: Thieves, it's not possible to charge 50 euros for two loungers and an umbrella, by the way behind a crowd of umbrellas and people, terrible.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, but the seaside restaurants are expensive and not of exceptional quality
Fantastic experience: A very beautiful beach, very suitable for children!

Fantastic experience: My favorite beach, recommendation
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and calm. Clear water.
Fantastic experience: Nice, cozy beach.
Fantastic experience: Sant Pol Beach in S'Agaro, fantastic beach on the Costa Brava with all kinds of services. It is not very big, so in the summer it is difficult to find a spot. Coastal path where it is worth walking and enjoying the views.
Fantastic experience: Very good, it's a shame they don't have a small piece of beach designated for dogs, Niu Cove is very tough and inaccessible.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, very clean, non-smoking so no cigarette butts in the sand! Depending on where you settle on the beach, the slope is significant, be careful for the children as it quickly gets deeper! But the sea is very clear with lots of little fish coming close to your feet.
Fantastic experience: Great route from Sant Pol beach, highly recommended, coastal path.

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach in a small village. You can also access the rocks next to it where there are a bit fewer people depending on the days.
Positive experience: The beach is nice although for my taste a bit too crowded, there are no showers at least where we were, what there is is parking space in the blue zone. Ideal for water activities or for a nice walk along the beautiful coastal path!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach and area. Lined with hotels and restaurants that do not take away from the beauty. The waves are calmed which makes for a lovely experience. We went in march the water was 15 a little chilly but when the kids want to enjoy the beach and water you go when you can. We played all day and watched the sunset. Convenient parking and a great walk way.
Fantastic experience: Super Beach, there is no words to explain ❤️❤️
Negative experience: Too crowded!! Lots of people everywhere and some friends got their stuff stolen. Nothing special around.
Fantastic experience: Simply stunning. Clear blue water great for swimming and snorkelling (not too much to see though). Follow the rocky path around the calas for more swimming spots.
Positive experience: The water was very cristalin.
