Located south of Palafrugell, Palamos resort marks the break between the authentic Costa Brava and that of mass tourism. The seaside in the city centre (in the continuity of Calonge and the commercial port) does not have the charm found in villages further north. Nevertheless, we appreciate the waterfront next to the beach of Fosca begins to be steeper and more preserved.
There are several beaches in Palamos. Those on the side of the town centre are large and well-appointed with many events in summer. In the north, there are some nice beaches including that of Castell which is totally untamed but accessible. This is also the starting point for a pleasant waterfront stroll by taking the footpath (the brave can reach the beaches of Calella Palagrugell).
The surroundings Palamos are remarkable. We particularly prefer the coves of Begur which are among the most beautiful of the Costa Brava. South, Sant Feliu de Guixols resort with its beaches offers an interesting position to explore the area and enjoy untamed beaches.
