Platja de Can Cristus, Mediterranean beach in Calonge i Sant Antoni, Spain.
Platja de Can Cristus is a sandy beach along the Costa Brava coastline stretching roughly 180 meters with hills rising behind it. The shoreline slopes gradually into the water, creating a gentle entry for swimmers.
The location grew from a fishing village into a beach destination during the tourism expansion along Costa Brava in the 1900s. This shift happened gradually, allowing fishing traditions to persist alongside recreation.
Fishing remains woven into daily life here, with small boats anchored along the shore and seafood restaurants serving catch from local waters. This working tradition shapes how the beach feels and how people experience it.
The beach offers showers, restrooms, and available sun lounger rentals for comfort during your visit. Lifeguards patrol the water from June through September when most people come to swim.
The beach holds multiple environmental certifications including the Blue Flag award, signaling strong commitment to water quality and beach management. Few visitors realize how seriously the site takes conservation standards.
