Platja de Sant Pol, Blue Flag beach in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Spain.
Platja de Sant Pol is a long sandy beach along the Mediterranean with shallow water that stretches between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and S'Agaró. The beach offers showers, adapted toilets, lounge chair rentals, restaurants, and a lifeguard station to help visitors during their time here.
The beach area began its transformation around 1900 when wealthy families built Modernist villas here between 1910 and 1915. This period marked the shift from a simple fishing area to a coastal destination for the well-to-do.
Three Modernist villas shape the beachfront landscape, their distinctive architecture reflecting how wealthy families built seaside retreats here in the early 1900s. You can walk past these houses and see how the design of that era still defines the character of this section of coast.
The beach is easy to reach and well set up with parking and walking paths along the shore that invite exploration. Visit on quieter days if you want to enjoy the space fully, especially if you plan to walk the coastal trails nearby.
A coastal path carved through rock leads past the beach to a hidden viewpoint overlooking the turquoise water and the shore below. This little-known trail rewards walkers with views that most visitors who stay only on the sand never discover.
