Cala d'Aiguablava
Platja d'Aiguablava
A small cove of white sand and bright blue water. Its name means 'blue water', and it is one of the most photographed beaches on the Costa Brava.
Aiguablava lies just south of Begur, framed by pine woods and rocky headlands. Fine white sand contrasts sharply with the clear turquoise-green water. The waves are gentle, which makes it good for families and snorkelling. The beach is only about 80 metres long and gets extremely crowded in high season. The car park charges a fee and fills quickly, so arrive before 9 am or take the summer shuttle bus from Begur. On the northern headland is the well-known parador hotel, Parador de Aiguablava. The nearby small harbour at Fornells is also worth a visit.
