Platja de l'Estartit is more than just a beach; it's the bustling hub of a coastal town, a wide expanse of sun-drenched sand that invites both active pursuits and languid afternoons. Its prime position directly facing the Medes Islands, a protected marine reserve, makes it an unparalleled base for divers and snorkelers eager to explore the vibrant underwater ecosystems. The sight of these rugged islets, silhouetted against the horizon, adds a dramatic focal point to the already picturesque scene.
“Its direct view and proximity to the Medes Islands marine reserve make it an unrivaled hub for diving and marine exploration.”

The beach itself is a family-friendly haven, with ample space for building sandcastles, playing beach games, and simply soaking up the Mediterranean sun. The gentle slope into the water makes it safe for children, while the proximity to the town means amenities, ice cream parlors, and casual eateries are just steps away. You'll find a lively atmosphere here, a mix of local families and international visitors enjoying the quintessential Costa Brava experience.
Beyond the sand, the beach acts as a launchpad for boat trips to the Medes Islands, offering glass-bottom boat tours for those who prefer to stay dry, or direct access for certified divers. Whether you're plunging into the depths to witness schools of barracuda and vibrant corals, or simply enjoying the sea breeze from a sun lounger, Platja de l'Estartit delivers a comprehensive coastal experience.
