Camping 3 Estrellas Costa Brava

The cycle path from the site leads scenically down to the beach at Castell, near Palamós. Local opposition to development means it's the most unassuming and natural looking stretch of sand around here, with secluded coves, a long length of beach and lovely blue-green waters. Amble the Cami de Ronda coastal path from Castell to La Fosca, another peacefully sandy place with safe waters for swimming, crevices for rockpooling and crabbing, and a good selection of cafés, bars and restaurants just off the beach. Sailing and windsurfing are top picks here too: if you're not sure where to start, a watersports centre is in town. Driving from the site, reach the spectacular space of the Jardins de Cap Roig or a watery family day at the Aquadiver Parc Aquatic waterpark, both 12 kilometres away. Another waterpark, Parc Aquàtic Water World, is within 50 kilometres at Lloret de Mar. Urban days out can (and should) be sorted at Empúries, 40 kilometres away, and fably ancient Girona, 50 kilometres away along the C31.
