The Maritime Rescue Museum, Maritime rescue museum in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Spain.
The Maritime Rescue Museum occupies a brick building with two naves and an eastern tower, positioned 13 meters above sea level overlooking two ports.
The rescue station, constructed in 1890, housed the Miquel de Boera lifeboat and provided accommodation for shipwrecked sailors until the Spanish Navy took control in 1940.
The museum displays original 19th-century maritime rescue equipment, optical instruments, and multilingual instruction boards that document regional maritime emergency response methods.
Located at Punta dels Guíxols, the museum presents maritime rescue exhibits across two floors, featuring vintage photographs, uniforms, and educational programs about sea safety.
The building contains a preserved meeting room and secretary office with complete documentation from the original Local Rescue Board based on volunteer operations.

The Costa Brava stretches along the Catalan Mediterranean coast, combining historical monuments with natural landscapes. Girona Cathedral features the widest Gothic nave in the world, while the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres houses the largest collection of the surrealist artist's works. The 10th-century monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes sits above the coast overlooking the sea. The Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries document over a thousand years of Mediterranean settlement. Medieval villages such as Pals and Peratallada have preserved their fortified structures and cobbled streets. The Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes displays Mediterranean and exotic plant species along the cliffs. The coastline offers beaches of various sizes, from the wide sandy stretches at Platja d'Aro to small coves tucked between rocks. The Medes Islands form a marine reserve for divers and snorkelers. The coastal path Camí de Ronda connects many towns, passing through pine forests and along clifftops.
