Things to do in S'Agaró

🥾 Camí de Ronda: the absolute gem

If you only do one thing in S'Agaró, make it this. The stretch of Camí de Ronda between Platja de Sant Pol and Cala Sa Conca is one of the most beautiful on the entire Costa Brava. A narrow path between cliffs, pines, and the sea at your feet.

• Duration: 20-30 minutes (one way)
• Difficulty: Easy, but with steps
• Best time: Early morning or sunset
• Local tip: You can continue to Sant Feliu de Guíxols (1h walk). Bring water and proper shoes.

The path passes natural viewpoints that are spectacular. In summer there can be crowds, but at 8am it's all yours.

🏖️ Beaches and coves

Platja de Sant Pol

The main beach. Fine sand, calm waters, historic bathing huts that have been there since the 1920s. In summer there are chiringuitos and you can rent sun loungers and parasols. Family atmosphere, nowhere near as packed as Platja d'Aro.

Tip: Parking fills up fast in July-August. Arrive before 10am or park higher up and walk down.

Cala Sa Conca

Small, rocky, gorgeous. Accessible via the Camí de Ronda or from the S'Agaró urbanisation. Crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkelling. Much quieter than Sant Pol.

Tip: No facilities (no chiringuito or showers). Bring everything you need.

Hidden coves

Following the Camí de Ronda towards Sant Feliu you'll find Cala del Pi, Cala Pedrosa, and other nameless spots. Some are only accessible on foot or by kayak. That's their charm.

🏛️ Noucentiste architecture

S'Agaró is an open-air museum of Catalan noucentisme. The must-see points:

• Senya Blanca — The first chalet, inaugurated in 1924. White house with tower, visible from the Camí de Ronda.
• Hostal de la Gavina — 5-star Grand Luxury hotel since 1932. Even if you don't stay, the building and gardens are worth visiting.
• Les Escales de S'Agaró — Monumental staircases connecting the urbanisation to the beach. Pure scenography.
• Restaurant dels Banys — Historic 1929 building near the old baths.

Walking through S'Agaró is walking through the history of 20th-century Catalan bourgeoisie. Every corner has aesthetic intention.

🚴 Activities

• Kayak and snorkel — Rental at Platja de Sant Pol in summer. The surrounding coves are perfect to explore from the water.
• Cycling — Costa Brava is a world destination for gravel and road cycling. S'Agaró is a perfect base: quiet roads, spectacular scenery.
• SUP (Stand Up Paddle) — Rental at Sant Pol. Try the route towards Sa Conca: magical when the sea is calm.
• Diving — Dive centres in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, 7 minutes away.

📅 When to come?

• June and September — The perfect months. Great weather, uncrowded beaches, everything open.
• July-August — Peak season. More atmosphere, but more people and tricky parking.
• Winter and spring — Off-season S'Agaró has a special magic. The Camí de Ronda all to yourself, golden light, pleasant temperatures for walking.

💡 Local tips

1. Skip the car in August if you can. Parking is limited and expensive.
2. Get up early. The beaches at 8am are another world.
3. Combine S'Agaró with Sant Feliu. Camí de Ronda walk → coffee at ANNNA → Sant Feliu market is a perfect plan.
4. Bring water shoes. The rocky coves are beautiful but slippery.
5. Stay for sunset. The colours from the Camí de Ronda at dusk are among the best on the entire Costa Brava.
