    We spent a lovely afternoon walking around the area. It’s all free and scenery is beautiful. Lots of photo opportunities.

    Pretty sheltered cove with fine shingle/gravel beach. Water fairly clear for snorkelling with lots of small fry in the shallows and bigger shoals further out. Clearly zoned swim and craft areas. One restaurant. My only concern is the huge pipe on the sea bed coming from under the beach out to sea presumably discharging waste from the lodges and campsite behind the beach out to sea… I hope it’s redundant! Parking at campsite €20 for the day - some free public parking by the road if you get there early!

    This my second trip to Tossa de Mar. We love the town, old town, castle, views and beach. Both times we have been there have been festival so the beach has been crowded. There is always space for your towel and like that you don't have to rent a chair for a spot. The beach is lovely and always enjoy it.

    Caught a boat here today..Beautiful clean sandy beach. Easy to get into the sea. This beach is in a sheltered bay and is well worth a visit...if you are on a budget take a picnic as the beach cafe is expensive...loved it

    We were looking for things to do while in Tossa de Mar and read about the glass bottom boat. Very reasonable rates, flexible times as we purchased the day before. Very relaxing ride, beautiful caves, smaller children were having a blast looking at the fish and we enjoyed relaxing on the beach they took us too. Had a drink at the outdoor bar and we rented kayaks, which was real fun! Only suggestion is bring a waterproof pouch for phones and wallet. We left ours on the beach with our blanket and towels and fortunate it was all good when we returned. Love that it was!

    On our trip to Spain, France and Andorra my wife and I spent three days in Tossa de Mar. Our Hotel Rovira was very close to the historic area and shops, bars, and restaurants.

    While walking through the narrow cobblestone streets we came upon the Chapel of Mare de Deu del Socors. It is a very small but well preserved old church right in the middle of the popular shopping area of Tossa de Mar.

    While this Chapel is not any famous and/or large one like in Barcelona, it is still worth a stop to visit and photograph....
