Where to go on a boat tour in Girona?

- Palamós is one of the best places to take a boat trip in Girona. This small town represents one of the most powerful sources of income from tourism in the region, and no wonder, because its coastal beauty is astounding. Here you will find an infinite number of boat trips of all kinds that will take you to visit its most legendary places of this town. So, make sure you don't forget these:

- Cala Roca Bona is impressive. It is a small sand and pebble beach, with transparent waters of light blue tones, and embraced by cliffs full of vegetation. It is also an ideal place for anchoring and snorkelling.

- Morro del Vedell cove. This cove, hidden to the naked eye, is hidden behind the marina of Puerto de Palamós. It has golden sand, colourless waters due to its transparency and a marine life that transforms it into a scuba diving paradise.

- Cala Margarida is one of those coves that seem to be taken from a classic seaside village painting. This small, secluded beach is enchanting. Although it is only 7 metres wide and 100 metres long, this corner is a real private natural paradise. It is little frequented, has privileged views of Cap Gros and its waters, which are more than 25 metres deep, are home to all kinds of fish.

- Blanes is another of those ideal places in Girona for a boat trip and it is a town closely related to fishing, so if you like fishing, this is a perfect municipality to take a boat trip for it.

- Platja de S'Abanell is one of the best-known beaches in this province, and therefore also one of the most frequented and touristic ones. Don't think that its popularity makes it any less beautiful, as you will discover a beach of 2.3 kilometres of totally golden sand bathed by azure water, a beauty to behold.

- Hidden behind the town’s port, Platja Santa Anna is a real haven of peace. Only 75 metres long is enough to find a small refuge from stress at the foot of Blanes’ Convent. It is an intense blue beach that hypnotises with a coastline lined up with pebbles.

- Platja Treumal lives up to the mythical phrase "good things come in small packages". It is one of the smallest and northernmost beaches in Blanes. It is immersed in the Pinya de Rosa natural area of national interest, so you can be sure that will be in the midst of an inexplicable natural environment, and that it also has serene and transparent waters, something typical of the beaches of the Costa Brava as you may have seen, but which is different from the others because of its intimacy and its surroundings.

- L'Estartit is an emblematic place for a boat trip and it is only natural, because on its coast is met by the famous Medes Islands. In addition to that, it is full, above all, home to an infinity of dream-like coves.

- Cala Calella is a realm of relaxation. Silence and tranquillity reign here, and it is only a few minutes away from the port of L'Estartit. From your boat, cradled by its waters, you will see Cap de la Barra, the Medes Islands and Punta del Molinet in the distance. A beautiful seabed, cliffs adorned with vegetation, and what the Costa Brava always promises, serene, crystal-clear and fresh waters await you here.

- Platja Mas Pinell is a different beach, long, wild and exotic. It is located at the mouth of the river Ter, it seems to never end, so forget about crowds and noise. It is adorned by the typical flora of the region and the icing on the cake is its beautiful landscape, the Medes Islands, just a couple of kilometres from the coast.

- Montgó cove. You can't leave the Costa Brava without first coming here, a symbolic place to take a boat trip and moor up for a dip. Crystalline waters of turquoise tones in the middle of the bay of Montgó, embraced by 2 rocks covered in green and adorned by an infinity of little white houses. In short, paradise on earth.

Honestly, we would like to tell you about a ton more places, but each location is more beautiful than the last and the places in this region abound, to such an extent that the number of beaches here seems to be almost infinite.

Look for the boat tour that best suits you, and choose one or as many as you like according to your company and the plan in mind. The rest is a piece of cake, because with so much on offer, it won't be hard to find the boat, sailboat, schooner or motorboat trip that will make you fall in love with Girona’s coast. And if sailing isn't enough, you'll also find sea excursions with snorkelling routes or other water sports.
