The Environment - Camping Palamós

Enjoy the Costa Brava

Environment and Activities

We always feel the presence of the sea at Palamós – a sea that is always there, throughout the year. The warm summer sea on impeccable beaches of fine sand that has been refined by the waves over the years. The sea that has sculptured the rocks to offer us little beaches and idyllic, hidden-away coves of emerald green, that has moulded the coast to make it wild and true to its name of the “Costa Brava”.

The sea has always been – and will always be – central to Palamós as a town. Fishing, boats, beaches, the wind and the food…everything at Palamós bears the stamp, the aroma and the colour of the sea.

The Costa Brava is a sum of sensations that will surprise you, from Blanes to Portbou. Nature plays a leading role in this territory, which is home to several natural parks.

Our coastline will also captivate you by the beauty of its beaches -of great tourist quality- and coves, some of them authentic paradises hidden between cliffs. Without forgetting the Mediterranean character of towns such as Cadaqués or Calella de Palafrugell.

Activities in the Environment

Both in winter and in summer you can enjoy water activities or routes on foot or bicycle.
