The Vigatà Cove

Coordinates: 41.7740260000, 3.0257930000 (map)

Cala Vigatà is a cove on the southern border of Sant Feliu de Guíxols measuring about 150 metres long and only 15 metres wide. To reach it, simply follow the street Camí de les Penyes until the coordinates (41.775814, 3.025768), where you can park and walk towards the sea—in about 50 metres you will see stone steps on your right that will lead you right into the Vigata cove.

The cliffs surrounding Vigatà are so close to the sea that its pine trees can literally touch the water. The soil cover of the cove is a mix of sand and pebbles, with no beach amenities to speak of. Despite that, the cove is wildly popular thanks to the natural treasures it hides underwater—Posidonia meadows, starfish, and colourful fish schools attract snorkelling and diving lovers alike.
