L'Estartit

Is a cape of the Montgrí Massif. It is between Cala Ferriol and Golf de la Morisca practically halfway between l'Escala and l'Estartit. Its shape is curious, in plan it slightly resembles the head of a seahorse. Its maximum height is on the isthmus that connects it to the mainland (76.1 m) and descends to the curve that turns south/southeast that rises at its end to 51.3 m. The paths that lead to it come from Alt de la Pedrosa or from the forest track between l'Escala and l'Estartit before passing the summit of Puig Torró. The isthmus/summit coincides with the presence of a cave that today crosses it from north to south at sea level, Roca Foradada or simply la Foradada. A tumular necropolis of cinerary urns similar to others found in Aquitaine or Lleida, generally dated between the 7th or 6th centuries BC, was excavated at this point.

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.
