Port Bo beach or Platja de les Barques
The Port Bo beach or Platja de les Barques is located in Calella de Palafrugell, in the middle of two other beaches: Platja d'en Calau and Platja de Malaespina. It is very well known because every summer the Calella Habanera concert is held here, which is very popular all over Catalonia.
Its physiognomy is notable for the small rocky reefs between the sea and the sand, which create different atmospheres. Typical of this beach are the fishermen's boats that we find on the shore and that make up a beautiful postcard.
There are several hotels in Calella de Palafrugell, but we would like to highlight those located just a few metres from the beach, from where you can enjoy a perfect stay and have access to the sand and waters of Port Bo beach in a matter of minutes.
As it is located right in the town centre and is easily accessible, the beach is usually very busy. Port Bo beach is also accessible for people with reduced mobility thanks to the access walkway. It also has several services such as showers and bar and restaurant areas.
It has been awarded the EMAS and ISO 14001 quality labels.

Visit Calella de Palafrugell
All the beauty of a fishing village
Calella de Palafrugell is one of the few towns on the Costa Brava that still conserves part of the appearance it had before the arrival of tourism. The cobbled pavements, the narrow streets and the typical fishermen's houses located on the seafront are some of the elements that make up the personality of Calella.
It's a culturally very lively town, with two very important annual events: the Cap Roig Festival held in the Cap Roig Botanical Garden, and the "Havaneres" concert, which is usually held at the beginning of July in the charming square of Port Bo.
The range of hotels in Calella de Palafrugell is very wide and of excellent quality. These hotels have facilities with all the comforts you need to make the most of your stay. Moreover, some of the hotels have a very good location just a few minutes' walk from the centre and the Port Bo beach, where you will find all the charm of the town.
