Roca Roja

★★★★☆ (1,158)

The Roca Roja is straddling between Platja d’Aro and Palamós. It is characterized by a rock formation that ranges between 8 and 30 meters deep. Two pinnacles are connected with nice rocks crossed by two small canyons.

We can find lobsters, moray eels, or some wrasse in its sandy bottom. Depending on the time of year we can see the passage of tuna or ocean sunfish.
