Es Codolar, beach in Tossa de Mar
Es Codolar is a golden sand beach in Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava. The strand stretches roughly 90 meters and sits right in town where visitors walk directly from the promenade down to the water.
The beach has long been a gathering place for fishermen and sailors from Tossa de Mar's harbor. It developed into a bathing beach during the 20th century as tourism grew along the Costa Brava.
The beach is only about 10 meters wide, so it can get crowded during peak season. Since it sits right in town, restaurants and shops are within walking distance, and parking is available nearby.

Spain has more than 8,000 kilometers of coastlines home to hundreds of beaches with diverse characteristics. The Mediterranean, Atlantic, Balearic Islands, and Canary Islands feature contrasting marine scenery: coves sheltered between cliffs, extensive sandy areas, urban beaches, and protected natural zones. Each coastal region has developed its own identity influenced by local geology and climate. The Balearic Islands include bays like Cala Macarella in Menorca or Ses Illetes in Formentera, where white sand contrasts with clear Mediterranean waters. The Canary Islands display volcanic landscapes, with the Maspalomas dunes on Gran Canaria stretching over 6 kilometers, or Lanzarote’s red cliffs framing Playa del Papagayo. Along the Andalusian coast, the Cabo de Gata Natural Park houses Mónsul Beach with its black volcanic formations, while Bolonia near Tarifa features a 4-kilometer-long beach with Roman remains. The northern coast presents a different scene: La Concha urban beach in San Sebastián forms a 1.5-kilometer arc, the limestone cliffs of Asturias protect Playa del Silencio, and the Cíes Islands in Galicia are part of a marine national park.
