Cala del Pi in Platja d'Aro is one of the most beautiful natural beaches in the region and due to its small size (it's 65m long and 15m wide) it gets very busy during the summer, so make sure you get here early if you want a good spot.

Although there are no parasols provided on the beach, there are some tall trees lining the bay which provide shade throughout the day. In addition to not providing parasols, the beach doesn't supply sun loungers, showers or cafes either, so you'll need to bring along your own supplies for the day.

If you prefer your beaches to be a bit bigger, check out Cala Rovira. Also located in Platja d'Aro, this bay is significantly larger, making it perfect for enjoying a leisurely stroll along. Just like Cala del Pi, this beach also features soft golden sands and clear, warm waters which are perfect for swimming in and practicing all sorts of water sports, including swimming and scuba diving.

There is a small number of sun loungers and shades provided on the beach but you'll need to get there very early if you want to use them because this beach is popular with visitors and locals alike come the summer months. There is a small food and drink kiosk located on the beach in addition to numerous other cafes and restaurants just a short walk away.

Bars and Restaurants

La Lonja in Lloret de Mar is another top pick when it comes to seafood restaurants. The star dish at this restaurant is the paella which can be served up for any number of people. The paella servings are huge and are usually over-flowing with seafood, so keep this in mind when deciding how much food you want to order.
