Golfet beach, Golden sand beach in Palafrugell, Spain.

Golfet is a small beach along the Mediterranean coast featuring golden sand and calm waters. The shoreline is enclosed by tall cliffs and pine groves that form a natural cove.

Until the early 1960s the cove had no land access and was a cliff of fallen rocks. Around 1960 local builder Antonio Cruz Conesa, during the Golfet development, obtained permission to tip hundreds of truckloads of coarse sand, which storms gradually shaped into a beach. He funded the viewpoint, its stairs and the camí de ronda to Calella; the stairs were closed around 2000 for landslide risk and repaired in 2004.

The name Golfet was used by seafarers, while people from Terrassa called the cove Cau Toixó, after the badgers that lived burrowed there and came out at night to feed. Tourism later replaced the old name with the more modern Golfet, which came to designate the whole bay between Punta dels Forcats and Cap Roig.

The beach is reachable via a marked coastal path from Calella de Palafrugell, though parking is limited during summer months. It is wise to arrive early or walk from the nearby area instead.

Until the early 1960s the cove had no land access and was a cliff of fallen rock; the local builder Antonio Cruz Conesa then had hundreds of truckloads of coarse sand dumped here, and the waves gradually formed the beach. He also paid for the viewpoint, the access stairs and the coastal path to Calella de Palafrugell.
