It has clear blueish-green water and was great for swimming and jumping off the rock in front. There is a small cave in the far back corner on the beach which has many mosquito's at night (bummer). This photo was taking in the morning before it got over populated with naked Spaniards swimming and playing ping pong on the beach. I would come here again I had a great time and camped 2 nights on the beach. The location of the beach is the closest I can do but it is referred by the locals as (Platjanudista).#Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182281/c72f3503-b6db-449f-af41-23aa6c0dfbd2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Platja de Sa Riera 2 min drive \- 1.1 miles - Club Tennis Pals 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - Pals Beach 10 min walk \- 0.5 miles - Platja de L'Illa Roja 3 min drive \- 1.1 miles - Platja de Pals Golf Course 6 min drive \- 2.0 miles ### Getting around - Flaça Station 26 min drive - Girona (GRO-Costa Brava) 61 min drive ### Restaurants - Malapascua 13 min walk - Sidral 13 min walk - Xiringo Platja Racó 14 min walk - R.
