Visit coves and beaches
Crystal clear turquoise waters, golden sand, rocks and pine trees are the key ingredients to house some of the most beautiful coves and beaches in all of Catalonia. But are they all the same? No. Even their similarities, their variations make them unique places. Some are almost virgin, very hidden, with springboards or between impressive cliffs. But it is in Begur where the beaches and coves preferred by visitors to the Costa Brava take shape, the most famous to this day being Aiguablava beach.
