Sant Antoni De Calonge: Beaches, Coastal Paths and Culture

In Sant Antoni De Calonge, you can plan your trip around the beach, coastal path and culture. Platja de Sant Antoni and Platja Torre Valentina differ above all in length; Platja d'Es Monestri is in the town centre. The Camí de Ronda and two distinct towers add to the coastal theme, while the Festa Major in the last days of August gives you a specific date to plan around.

Beaches with different features

Platja de Sant Antoni is about 1.5 kilometres long and has fine sand. Platja Torre Valentina measures about 500 metres and consists mainly of fine sand. If beach length is a factor in your choice, Platja de Sant Antoni is the longer stretch; water sports are also available at Platja Torre Valentina. Location can guide your choice too: Platja d'Es Monestri is in the town centre of Sant Antoni De Calonge. Length, sand type, water sports and location can each play a different role in planning your beach visit.

The Camí de Ronda and its landmarks

The Camí de Ronda begins next to Torre Valentina and can also be reached via the Sant Antoni promenade. This gives you two specific landmarks for planning your route: the start next to the tower and access via the promenade. The route is signposted as the GR-92 with white and red markings. Check the signs on site and bear in mind that coastal conditions can change. The starting point and the alternative access describe two different ways to include the Camí de Ronda in your plans.

Two towers with distinct characters

Torre Valentina is a defensive tower by the sea that has survived to this day. Torre dels Perpinyà stands on the Camí de Ronda, opposite Cala de l'Embarcador. Despite its medieval appearance as a watchtower, it has modern origins. For this tower, it is important to distinguish appearance from origin: its medieval look says nothing about when it was built. Torre Valentina, by contrast, is classified as a surviving defensive tower. If you are also interested in buildings along the Camí de Ronda, the two towers offer different points of interest.

Festa Major in the last days of August

The Festa Major de Sant Antoni de Calonge (Calonge) takes place in the last days of August. Festivities include a correfoc and an audició de sardanes. This gives you a specific cultural event to plan your trip around, in addition to the beach and coastal theme.

Register for underwater routes

Registration for the underwater routes is handled by the Oficina de Turisme de Calonge i Sant Antoni. Since municipal registration information can change, check the current details with the tourist office in advance. This allows you to include registration in your activity planning for the trip.
