Bramant Beach

Coordinates: 42.3860960000, 3.1624760000 (map)

The Bramant cove, or Cala Bramant, found in the northern part of the Costa Brava coast between Colera and Llançà, is one of the most picturesque in the area. The locals often call it by a different name—Cala dels Enamorats, or the Cove of Lovers—because of the many rocks surrounding the cove for maximum privacy. The cove is connected to the sea by a narrow channel which makes it look like a giant bathtub.

The closest residential area is a half-an-hour walk away along narrow trails and a country road. The beach in the cove is a wild one; no services or city beach amenities are to be expected here. The beach is sandy but has a rocky bottom underwater, so entering the water is a cautious affair. Some daredevils use the tall cliffs around the cove to spectacularly dive down instead.

Directions: Follow the highway N-260 northbound, turn right at the coordinates (42.388598, 3.158109) towards Carrer Sant Miquel de Colera and follow the road signs until the point with the coordinates (42.385298, 3.159507). From here, continue northwest on foot—the walk to the cove will only take about 5 minutes.
