Palamós is the only town within the province of Girona still with a fishing fleet and is famous for its prawns. Little wonder that both locals and foreign tourists flock to the area for the sandy beaches in summer.
As well as the main town beach you’ll find the kid-friendly La Fosca as well as one of the best and least spoilt beaches of the central Costa Brava, Platja Castell. While Palamós is hardly overrun with campsites you do at least have a choice of where to stay. Here we look at what’s available.

Carretera la Fosca, 12
This tree-shaded campsite is close to the port area of Palamós and offers pitches overlooking the sea.
