The beach

Understand

The town consists mostly of tourist accommodations creating great seasonal changes with an estimated population of 80.000 in the summer dropping to just a few thousands in winter. The town is also home to one of the world's largest man made marinas with channels cutting through the whole northern part of the urban area.

Do

Since Empuriabrava is a town mainly consisting of tourism, it is not hard finding something interesting to do. Sailing around the marina in a rented boat is one of the most popular things to do. Also the beach is a great place to spend your day. The sandy beach is about 90 meters wide, and the water is at great temperatures during the summer. However, it is recommended that you use the beach primarily in the morning before noon as the sun reaches very powerful levels around noon and the heat builds up until late afternoon.
