A paradise
of endless
beaches and
intimate
coves
To the south lies the magical Sa Conca, a
beach combining spaciousness and green
areas and which is relatively quiet in terms
of people, which together explain why it is
often used as a location for film and advertising shoots. The enigmatic Cala Pedrosa,
which is unknown to many, lies surrounded by the distinctive Camí de Ronda de
S’Agaró.
Pine groves, rocks and golden sand
embrace the crystal clear blue of the
Mediterranean Sea.
Platja d’Aro’s seafront is a paradise made
up of endless beaches and intimate coves.
Lovers of nature and the great outdoors will
enjoy the variety of settings available, from
a vast beach to intimate spots in which the
trees practically fold into the sea, leaving just
a small, exclusive space in which to bathe.
A beautiful natural landscape offering
emotion, power and surprising nuances.
Long, fine sandy beaches, hideaway
coves and walking paths along the old
customs patrol routes.
The Fem Platja! programme harnesses a
multidisciplinary team responsible for comprehensively managing all of the beachrelated services: cleaning and maintenance,
security and water rescue services, and
user accessibility, services and information. It also works to consolidate the main
environmental quality standards, earning
distinctions such as the Blue Flag, the Q for
Quality Tourism, and the Diploma for Destination Quality Planning.
The Platja Gran is a central setting offering
a vast, extensive space surrounded by the
major tourist services. Cala Rovira is the
choice for people who want to enjoy a smaller beach, without straying too far from the
town centre. To the north lie Cala Sa Cova,
Cala del Pi, Cala d’es Canyers and Cala Belladona, which are ideal for people looking
for peace and quiet and a more unspoilt
setting.
