Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove on the Costa Brava with coarse sand and a sandy bottom. From the beach, there are spectacular views of Playa de Aro at the Hotel and Restaurant Cost Brava and surely...to the Mediterranean Sea))). With the coastal path, it's very easy to reach the smaller and more beautiful beaches of Costa Brava! Cala Rovira, Cala del Pi, and Cala Beladona are very close to here! You must come to this beach to enjoy life!
Fantastic experience: You have to get to the Roman ruins, and there is access to reach the 2 coves. It can be a bit hard to park depending on the dates, but the coves are calm and have coarse sand, so cleaning yourself up before leaving is super easy.
Fantastic experience: It's one of my favorite places. Within a few minutes of walking, you have 2 more coves nearby. But Rovira is quite spacious. There is parking available in the vicinity; depending on the time and season, it can be a bit more complicated. But it is free and paved. There are several rocks to walk around the area.
Positive experience: Beautiful cove, well located and easily accessible.
Fantastic experience: Maca, easy access and quiet

Fantastic experience: The water is very clean, calm, and away from mechanical sounds.
Positive experience: Cala Rovira. A beautiful cove, the water is crystal clear, the waves are very low, the sand is more like coarse/medium stones. Let's get to what matters: There are bathrooms and showers, plus a beach bar where the food is excellent. There is no way to reserve a table for lunch, so at the time you want to eat, you have to wait in line. Perfect for snorkeling. I recommend water shoes for entering the water. Pets are not allowed. The parking, if you arrive early as in most places, you can find it close to the beach, but if not, you need to walk a bit, parking is possible.
Fantastic experience: Visité esta playa paseando con los perros. Fuimos entretenidos, la gente la atmósfera, el mar increíble. Un pasillo que lleva desde la playa mas grande a las calas. Disfrutamos de una mesa de un bar junto al mar. Elegimos quedarnos en el interior - para disfrutar del aire acondicionado . Solo quiero decir que, además de una buena comida, tuvimos un encantador paisaje. Un encanto

Fantastic experience: Fascinating beach at the North of Platja D'Aro. If you need to get away from the busy part of the town, this wilder corner is for you. Middle size sand, crystal clear waters and the usual combination of sandy and rocky parts of Baix Emporda with its rosie tones.

An absolute insider tip for anyone looking for relaxation and pure nature!
