Best Time to Visit

Local Tips

Try the local 'gambas de Palamós' (red prawns) at a waterfront restaurant. Enjoy the coastal path (Cami de Ronda) for scenic walks, and arrive early to the beach in peak season.

Palamós is generally very safe. Watch out for pickpockets in crowded summer areas and always lock your beach belongings. Be cautious swimming near rocks where currents can be strong.

Walk the less-traveled part of the Cami de Ronda towards Cala Estreta for secluded beaches. Visit the Fishing Museum for unique insights, or explore the small cove of S'Alguer for a picturesque photo spot.
