This beach with its crystal-clear waters<strong> one of this small town's biggest attractions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To get to the beach, leave the car on one of the nearby roads and walk about 5 minutes along the GR 92 footpath. Although it's not an overly complicated trail, I'd advise you to take the<strong>use appropriate footwear to reach the beach<\/strong>. And don't forget to bring your own food and refreshments, as you won't find any type of bar, store or restaurant on site.<\/p>\n<p>The feeling of being away from the world is one of the most striking features of this beach which, despite being relatively close to the railroads, <strong>gives visitors an impression of tranquillity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc123485991\"><\/a><strong>La platja Fonda<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fonda beach, in the municipality of Begur, is distinguished by its great wall. To reach this beach, made up of dark-colored sands due to the mixture of minerals, you first have to climb down a staircase which, although not excessively complicated, is not recommended for children or the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these tones, there are other curiosities in the area around the beach, such as the former weather station converted into a lookout point, or its submerged town. A real treat <strong>for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This pristine beach is approximately 130 meters wide and 30 meters long, and due to its relatively easy access is one of the city's most visited beaches. What's more, its crystal-clear waters attract locals and foreign tourists alike.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/16192803198_c5631a6c18_k.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1861\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/16192803198_c5631a6c18_k-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"beach near barcelona\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/16192803198_c5631a6c18_k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/16192803198_c5631a6c18_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/16192803198_c5631a6c18_k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/16192803198_c5631a6c18_k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/16192803198_c5631a6c18_k.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc123485992\"><\/a><strong>Beach near Barcelona: Platja del Portitxol<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just a few metres from the Emp\u00faries archaeological museum, between L'Escala and Sant Mart\u00ed d'Emp\u00faries, you'll find Portitxol beach. This beach stands out for its natural environment. First-time visitors will appreciate the pine forest and extensive sandbanks, <strong>as well as its calm waters and golden sand<\/strong>. In the southern part, you'll find the Pointe des Coves, a rocky area whose stones are highlighted for their strange shapes.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a virgin beach, as you can find various services such as public showers and toilets, lifeguards or the terrace of the Hotel Emp\u00faries,<strong> just a few metres from the beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc123485993\"><\/a><strong>La Cala Estreta<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cala Estreta is one of the beautiful hidden beaches near Barcelona. It is located on the Costa Brava, about 20 minutes' walk from Platja del Castell. Cala Estreta is in a natural environment, <strong>where you won't find a single bar or building<\/strong>. Its rocky ledge, also known as \"La Roja\" (the red one), is one of the icons of this beach.<\/p>\n<p>\"El Drac Adormit\" (The Sleeping Dragon) is another of the rock formations you'll find in the western part of the beach and is one of its most photographed features.

The beach is made up of fine golden sand. On site, you can contemplate the Spanish Civil War bunker located on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>La platja del Fort\u00ed o del B\u00fanker is a white sand nudist beach. You can reach it by foot, bike, motorcycle or car from Matar\u00f3. It's worth noting that these forts are the last remnants of the Republican defense line in this maritime zone. Although many historians are working to preserve them, <strong>weather conditions affected them<\/strong>. In any case, it's a beach rich in history.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc123485996\"><\/a><strong>Beach near Barcelona: la platja de Sant Sebasti\u00e0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Located in the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/sitges\/\">Sitges<\/a>This beach near Barcelona is well known to the locals.
