Aigua Xelida, Shingle beach in Palafrugell, Spain.
The beach stretches for 17 meters in length and 12 meters in width, featuring a blend of golden sand and pebbles along the Costa Brava coastline.
Until 1950, this beach remained isolated from neighboring Tamariu, connected only by a simple dirt path that wound through the coastal landscape.
The beach gained recognition in Catalan literature through Josep Pla's book 'Un viatge frustrat', where it represents the initial destination of his journey.
Visitors can reach the beach by following steps from the residential area or arriving by boat, with parking available for more than 100 vehicles nearby.
The location serves as a designated scuba diving area, allowing exploration of marine life in the clear Mediterranean waters.
