Itinerary description
This hike starts in Punta de la Creu, a cliff area with beautiful views protected as a marine reserve. The path unwinds through pine forests, going up and down the cliffs until reaching Cala s'Antiga. This secluded sandy cove is the perfect spot for a dip and a break.
Time to climb some stairs, walk a hundred more metres, and you'll find Begur's biggest beach, Platja de Sa Riera.
The next jewel on this hike is Platja de l'Illa Roja. You'll first pass it from above, and once you get to a crossroad, you'll have to take the path that descends to the beach to get there. We highly recommend it!
L'Illa Roja, translated as Red Island, gets its name from the red rocky island on the sand. A cool thing is that depending on the tide, you can find both Illa Roja attached to the land or isolated, almost "floating" near the beach.
The beach is surrounded by high cliffs and scenic rock formations; it's one of our favourites in Costa Brava! Keep in mind that it is nudist-friendly, especially the area towards the end of it.
Only 200 m from this beach is the destination of the hike, Platja del Racó. You'll see a long sandy beach in front of your eyes, extending all the way to L'Estartit! In fact, this is the second most extensive beach here in Costa Brava.
