The coast of Sant Antoni de Calonge can be explored through its different beach features and a signposted coastal path. There is also a tower with a surprising contrast between its appearance and origins, as well as a festival held in the last days of August. When planning your stay, you can weigh up beach days, a walk by the sea and festive culture, and choose different priorities accordingly.

Choose beaches by length, location and activities

Platja de Sant Antoni is about 1.5 kilometres long and has fine sand. Platja Torre Valentina is about 500 metres long and consists mainly of fine sand. Their approximate lengths make for a clear comparison, while both beaches share the same sand description. Platja d'Es Monestri is in the centre of Sant Antoni de Calonge, giving you a different point of reference from the measurements of the other two beaches. Water sports are also available at Platja Torre Valentina. When choosing, you can consider length, location in the town centre or the stated opportunity for water sports as different criteria.

Plan your walk along the Camí de Ronda

The Camí de Ronda starts next to Torre Valentina and can also be accessed via the seafront promenade in Sant Antoni. It is signposted as the GR-92 with white and red markings. Two access points are therefore identified for planning; check the signs on site. Conditions along the coast can also change. The path offers a focus of its own alongside choosing a beach, and another way to include the coastal area in your stay.

Towers by the sea and along the path

Torre Valentina is a defensive tower by the sea that has survived to this day. Along the Camí de Ronda, Torre dels Perpinyà stands opposite Cala de l'Embarcador. Its medieval appearance as a watchtower contrasts strikingly with its modern origins. The two towers provide different cultural and historical points of reference along the coast: Torre Valentina is notable for its surviving defensive function by the sea, while Torre dels Perpinyà stands out for the contrast between its appearance and origins. This offers a distinct perspective for travellers who want to include the town’s buildings in their plans as well as its beaches and walking path.

Festive culture in the last days of August

The Festa Major de Sant Antoni de Calonge takes place in the last days of August. It includes a correfoc and an audició de sardanes. Both are specific events in the festival programme, making festive culture a possible focus of your stay in its own right. If you want to plan your trip around the festival, check the exact event dates in advance. This lets you take the timing into account without treating a festival visit as equivalent to a day at the beach or a stretch of the coastal path.

Registration for underwater routes

Registration for the underwater routes is handled by the Oficina de Turisme de Calonge i Sant Antoni. If you are planning one of these routes, check the latest registration information with this office in advance, as municipal registration details can change. Registration is therefore a separate practical step in your preparations, distinct from choosing a beach, the coastal path or festival dates.
