Holiday apartment in Empuriabrava: Coast, canals and nature

Empuriabrava is located on the coast of the Bay of Roses and in the heart of the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l’Empordà. The coastal landscape and nature park are therefore among the defining geographical features of the area.

Canals, marina and water sports

Empuriabrava has 25 km of navigable canals. The Empuriabrava Marina offers boat hire. At the beaches of Empuriabrava, you can go wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking. In addition to the sea and beaches, the waterways therefore also shape the appearance of the area. When planning a day focused on water activities, boat hire, water sports and time at the beach can be planned separately. This allows the day to alternate between canals, marina and beach without leaving the Empuriabrava area. The options range from beach activities and boat hire to navigable canals.

Beaches between the marina and nature park

Platja d'Empuriabrava beach lies in front of Empuriabrava's residential marina and its navigable waterways. It is one of the beaches in the immediate vicinity of Empuriabrava. Platja de la Rovina, Platja del Salatar and Platja del Rastell are also nearby.

Platja La Rubina is a natural beach in the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l’Empordà. Platja d'Empuriabrava in front of the residential marina and Platja La Rubina in the nature park represent two distinct geographical focal points along the Empuriabrava coast. The residential marina and nature park thus serve as two concrete reference points for navigating the coastal area.

More experiences centred around water

Windoor Empuriabrava offers indoor skydiving in a wind tunnel. The Butterfly Park Empuriabrava, a zoo, is also located in the immediate vicinity of Empuriabrava. Indoor skydiving in a wind tunnel has a different focus from activities at the beaches. For day planning, the water-based activities and the indoor offering can be considered separately.

Cultural heritage in Empuriabrava

Empuriabrava has a signposted cultural heritage trail. It is intended to allow visitors to enjoy the beauty of the area and get to know its most distinctive places.

“El Peix de l’Amistat” is a work by Lorenzo Quinn from 1998 and forms part of Empuriabrava's signposted cultural heritage trail. Visitors interested in culture can distinguish between the trail in Empuriabrava and the museum, dolmen and castle sites in the surrounding area.
