Les Muscleres Beach

Les Muscleres Beach, situated in L'Escala, Girona, is a semi-urban beach that stretches 250 meters in length and spans 25 meters in width. The beach is characterized by its golden sand and gentle slope into the water, making it easily accessible to visitors. The name "Les Muscleres" is derived from the abundance of mussels found on the two islets that flank the beach, offering it a unique seashell appearance. These islets also double as a protective barrier during rough sea conditions. The beach is nestled in an unspoilt area near the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Emporion, providing a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, even during the peak season, the beach is known for its accessibility. It's a 15-minute walk to L’escala center and a 10-minute walk to Sant Martin, making it a convenient destination for those who prefer to walk.

For those preferring public transportation, the beach can be reached by interurban bus. Lifeguard surveillance is provided, ensuring the safety of swimmers. The nearest medical facility is the Hospital Comarcal de Figueres, located 25 kilometers away. While the beach does not offer rental services for beach chairs or umbrellas, nor does it have any sports or playground areas, it does have restaurants nearby for dining. Despite the lack of certain amenities, the beach's proximity to the Roman and Greek ruins and the tranquil atmosphere it offers make it an appealing destination.
