Platja de Sant Antoni, Coastal beach in Sant Antoni de Calonge, Spain
Platja de Sant Antoni is a beach along the Costa Brava with bathing areas separated by large T-shaped breakwaters. These structures create different zones with varying water conditions and depths for different purposes.
Three large breakwaters were built in the 20th century to protect the beach from Mediterranean storms. This infrastructure shaped its development into a reliable bathing destination with stable conditions.
The beachfront promenade is a gathering place where locals and visitors share meals at seaside restaurants and pursue water activities together. It reflects the relaxed coastal way of life that residents have maintained over generations.
The beach has showers, restrooms, sports areas, and lifeguards at the supervised zones. Visitors should expect varying conditions depending on the season and weather, especially when strong waves are forecast.
Each of the three T-shaped breakwaters defines its own swimming area with a distinct character and visitor usage pattern. This division allows for different activities, from calm swimming to more active water pursuits.
