Fantastic experience: A great beach divided into two areas, one of which is meticulously maintained and perfect for going with children, the other a bit more rustic where you can take a dip, all of it marked for the safety of bathers. It has emergency services and lifeguards, as well as an area adapted for disabled individuals. There are two large free parking lots just a few meters away, and there are also blue zone parking spots at a very economical price.
Fantastic experience: In 2017 we stayed here for a few days, this was in July 2017 with the motorhome, we were parked in the municipal parking lot, if you follow different rules, you can stay here. According to us, a quiet village, although it wasn't very sunny, it was still a good base to explore the area.
Fantastic experience: Es una playa amplia, en verano es horrible intentar acceder, pero cuando hace frío merece la pena dar un paseo.
Fantastic experience: Lloc únic a la Costa Brava menys freqüentada. Aigües cristalines. Bon accés i parking públic.
Positive experience: Buen lugar para ir con niños. Amplio aparcamiento

Fantastic experience: Mooi havenstadje met enkele restaurants. Honden mogen wel nergens binnen. In de koude maanden kan men dan niets gaan drinken na wandeling met hond. Dat is spijtig.
Positive experience: Perfecta para perros y sus dueños, falta limpiar un poco lo que nos devuelve el mar.
Fantastic experience: Plage sympa très grande et qui accepte les chiens. Cadre très joli et ballade dans la ville agréable. Une bonne après midi.
Positive experience: Perfecta para ir con perros

Negative experience: A wind that is unbelievable, you can't even do calm activities or sunbathe because a sandstorm hits you that is unreal, the dirtiest beach full of algae that you can't even bathe peacefully.
Negative experience: Impossible to set up a beach umbrella. Too windy that day, we don't know if it's always like this. In any case, we got sand all over our faces. Crystal clear water. In short, we won't be returning.
Positive experience: Grande y arena fina. Muchas gente.
Fantastic experience: Divina, nos tocó un día espectacular y la playa parecía una piscina. Algunas zonas tiene bastantes piedras, por lo que no está mal llevar unos escarpines para el agua, y máscara de snorkel para ver los peces. Ojalá estuviera un poco más limpia. Hay parking gratis por la zona.
Fantastic experience: La playa más grande del pueblo de port de la selva. Su arena es pequeña y se puede pegar en ti y en tu ropa pero bueno, ya sabes. La playa es enorme y hermosa. Y puedes caminar mucho dentro del agua que nunca se vuelve profunda, por lo que es seguro para los niños y las personas como yo a las que no les gustan las aguas profundas. Un lugar para relajarse.

Positive experience: Leuk plaatsje veel wind voor de surfers. Strand is ok, maar niet geweldig door de vele wind.
Positive experience: Platja de vistes genials i sorra, trigues molt perquè l'aigua et cobreixi i acostuma a estar molt plena, però és molt gran. Hi ha xiringuito, parc infantil i punts per llogar windsurf i kaiacs.
