is one of the coves and natural refuges of the Montgrí massif located in Torroella de Montgrí, about 9 km from the center of L'Estartit. It is 12 m long and 51 m wide, formed by pebbles. The cove lives up to its name, it is full of stones of all sizes and shapes and is surrounded by pine trees and rocks. It can be reached on foot from L'Estartit through the forest track that leads to L'Escala. Once you find the signposted detour, the path leads to a path that goes into a stream of blocks, pebbles and fine gravel. It is a beach without services and shallow. The submerged part of the cove forms a corridor about 100 meters long and just over 50 meters wide facing east that is protected from the onslaught of the waves by the island of La Pedrosa.
On the cliffs of Cap de la Barra, at an altitude of approximately 85 m, there is a viewpoint with a beautiful view of the Medes Islands, with views of Meda Gran and Medallot, as well as the El Molinet rock. You can see the port of L'Estartit and the castle of Montgrí. The path is rugged and can be dangerous when there is a lot of wind.

Fleet of four hard boats with O2, first aid, zodiac and RIB, diver lifts, a deck shower and WC. Note that they do operate a camp site but this isn't near to their dive operation, so unless you have your own transport, it's better to get something closer to the marina.
