The site is dated between the 6th and 1st centuries BC, when the new Roman society was imposed on the territory, although in some excavations materials from the 6th century BC have been found. Up to four Iberian houses with two rooms each can be seen and are arranged in several streets, forming an area of about 300 m². In addition, fifteen silos or deposits excavated in the rock and an oven have been discovered. Possibly this settlement concluded its activity with the arrival of the Romans in Llafranc.

To the left of the beach is the port of Llafranc. The beach area near the port is full of boats stranded on the sand. Oriented to the south-southeast, it is 347 metres long and has an average width of 29 metres, made up of medium-grained sand and a moderate slope into the water. The beach is very busy in summer. It has all kinds of services, as well as access ramps for people with reduced mobility. It is flanked by a tree-lined promenade, the Passeig de Cypsele, where there are bars, restaurants, ice cream parlours and other shops.
Oriented to the southeast, it is 61 meters long and 11 meters wide, made up of pebbles and blocks. In summer it has a low level of occupancy. It suffers from the incivility of recreational boats that do not respect the anchoring rules. At the northern end of the cove there is an old fisherman's hut, from the early 20th century, which has been rehabilitated and windows have been added.
Oriented to the east, it is 33 meters long and 40 meters wide, made up of coarse sand, gravel and pebbles. In a corner of the cove there are two old fishermen's huts, one of them adapted as a small restaurant.
