Campotel at Camping Castell Montgri

The very simplest way to sort a day out around here is to wander up to reception and join an organised excursion or hire bikes to pedal around the local area. There’s also a shuttle bus from here to the beach in summer (June to August), or you can stroll down there in 15 minutes or so. There are kayaks, pedalos and loungers to hire on this stretch of sand so your beach days can be active or lazy as you wish. For more time out at sea, sign up for lessons at the local surf school or chat to a watersports provider to sort days of windsurfing, paddleboarding and jetskiing. L’Estartit’s known as one of the best places around for scuba diving and the town’s dive centres can provide training and fun dives. Boat trips out to the nearby Medes Islands are an option if you’d rather stay up on the surface. Proper day trips around the area might take you to Aquabrava waterpark (40 minutes’ drive), for a wander around the streets of Girona (45 minutes) or to explore the colourful world of Salvador Dalí in Figueres (40 minutes).
