Empuriabrava, Residential marina in Costa Brava, Spain.
Empuriabrava is a residential marina community on Costa Brava with roughly 24 kilometers of navigable channels winding through private residences and waterfront properties. The canal network allows homes to have direct water access, creating a unique waterfront living arrangement.
Development of this coastal area started in 1964 as a planned waterfront project. The community was substantially completed by 1975, establishing the layout seen today.
The place reflects Catalan heritage through local celebrations, seafood traditions, and boating customs that remain central to how residents spend their time here.
The area accommodates around 5000 boats up to 26 meters long, with private homes accessible directly from the water through channels. Exploring on foot along the waterways or by small boat works best for seeing the residential layout.
An aerodrome just north of town offers skydiving year-round for beginners and experienced jumpers alike. This dramatic activity stands apart from the calm waterway environment of the residential area.
