• Portitxol: The beach cannot be reached by car but you must go on foot from the promenade of La Empúries. Possibly the most emblematic beach in the region. The environment looks like something out of a short film. On one side the ruins of Empuriabrava and on the other the impressive viewpoint of the Bay of Roses.
• Montgó: This is a large beach of fine white sand that stretches along the south of L'Escala. The place is full of prestigious restaurants, ideal to enjoy the Catalan gastronomy.
