Aigua Xelida Bay

Coordinates: 41.9215000000, 3.2155960000 (map)

This tiny, hidden yet exceedingly lovely cove of Aigua Xèlida (Cala Aigua Xèlida) is located just by Tamariu, in one of its urbanizations of the same name, in the central part of Costa Brava between Palafrugell and Begur. The sand beach attracts much smaller crowds even at the height of the summer season—most vacationers prefer to sunbathe and swim in Tamariu proper.

The Aigua Xèlida cove is the starting point for one of the Vies Braves sea swimming routes that were created in the Costa Brava in 2014. From here, you can swim to the cove Aigua Dolça.

Directions: Navigation signs towards the cove start appearing on Carrer Enric Morera in Tamariu, so you can enter Carrer Enric Morera, Palafrugell into your GPS navigator.
