Platja d’Aiguablava
Located in the heart of Begur, this cove is a testament to the pure beauty of the Mediterranean, where turquoise water meets the finest sand.
A sanctuary of light and sapphire waters.
Platja d’Aiguablava is one of the most well-known and photographed coves on the Costa Brava. It stands out for its fine sand, its shallow turquoise waters, and a protected natural environment combining pine trees, light rock, and open sea.
