The sea was a gorgeous aqua colour and very clean. As previous reviewers mentioned the sand is grainy so I would recommend some hard soled shoes/walking boots as flipflops/sandals actually made it difficult to walk on and hurt your feet! There is a glass bottom boat tour available for 14euros which departs nearly every hour. There is also scuba diving... More

The beach was OK but it was very pebbly & stoney which hurt your feet if not wearing footwear. The beach gets really busy but can usually find a bit of space somewhere if you look hard enough. On some days there was quite a bit of rubbish in the sea near to the beach which put us off swimming... More

Lovely beach but it can be painful on the feet. This is not a sandy beach. Its very rocky and pebbly. Sunbed hire is 11 euro for the day.

lovely beach with views around the bay and of the castle. I agree it is a bit gritty but actually not uncomfortable at all. Sea shelves quite deeply but lovely clear water. Beach clean, plenty of sunbeds which you pay to hire but can come and go as you please if you keep your ticket. Nice and quiet but lively... More

Despite its name, the beach of an average size located in the bay of Tossa. The views of the castle and the nearby rocks are spectacular. You can also be entertained by the small touristic ships that stop right at the beach. In September it was not very crowded.

Plenty of room for everyone. Miles to see of beautiful scenery. The beach was not smooth sand but it didn't hurt to walk on the tiny pebbles. Showers situated everywhere and beach bars with refreshing drinks and ice creams. Very safe for children but dont forget the sun cream folks.

The beach is very pretty with bright blue sea that is very clear. Be wary as the sea shelves very quickly meaning it is deep pretty quickly. Water generally clean although we had the misfortune to encounter a floating sanitary towel, a one off thankfully! The old city walls are right next to the beach adding to its vista. Sand... More
