The centre of Platja d’Aro is less than 10 minutes’ drive away and there is easy access to the 257 main road.
Camping Riembau is in Platja d'Aro
Platja d’Aro’s main drag, formed by Avinguda S’Agaró and Avinguda Cavall Bernat, offers some of the region’s best shopping, with big-name designer clothes stores and some classy local establishments. Most are open all year and have extended summer hours (daily 10am–2pm & 5–10pm).
As evening suffuses into night, the pavement cafés become a popular spot for an aperitif and some prime people-watching. Later into the night a hedonistic crowd moves in, as the stylish, laid-back bars and thumping discos get going.
Every February, the same streets play host to one of the Costa Brava’s best Carnival processions, with floats and extravagant fancy-dress parades accompanied by revelry all weekend long.
On the northern edge of town is Ciutat de Palol, a small square that was the site of a wine- and oil-producing Roman villa, in use between the first century BC and the seventh century AD. Badly neglected during the tourism boom, it has now been properly excavated and saved, and what little remains has been laid out as a public area with seating.
Almost the entire length of Platja d’Aro’s beach is backed by an uneven toothy grin of high-rise blocks, interspersed with some older low-rise buildings, fronted by a pedestrianized promenade with terraces and restaurants.The sweep of coarse golden sand, shelving moderately steeply into clear water, sees families and firm-bodied clubbers working on their tans.The southern tip of Platja Gran, marked by the chic Port Nàutic and capped by the Punta de Pinell headland, gets slightly less crowded.
At the northern end of the Platja Gran, three incongruous-looking nineteenth-century villas are a reminder of how the town has changed, while 100m further on is the huge standing stone known as El Cavall Bernat, the backdrop to free summer jazz concerts. Its name came into use in the sixteenth century as a euphemism for the original Carall Bernat, thought to mean “revered phallus” (“carall” is Catalan for “phallus”).
North of Platja d’Aro, the Camí de Ronda footpath dips and climbs for 4km, from the north- ern end of the Platja Gran along the water’s edge as far as Sant Antoni de Calonge, offering paths down to some beautiful beaches.A number can also be reached by footpaths off the C253 road towards Palamós, which has roadside parking.
The first you come to is the attractive, busy Cala Rovira, originally the Roman port for the area. It’s also known as Cala dels Escalencs after the fishing families from L’Escala, who – until the advent of tourism in the 1950s – used to spend their summers here camped on the beach, fishing the waters and selling their catch in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.A terrifically colourful and emotive fiesta to mark this history takes place on the first weekend after the Diada holiday (Sept 11), when dozens of traditional Vela Llatina boats make the journey from L’Escala and families camp on the beach in makeshift shelters for two days of traditional crafts, havaneres and cremat.
Neighbouring Cala Sa Cova offers a gently shelving beach and safe bathing up to a clearly defined line of underwater rocks, and its pretty setting amid pines helps you to overlook the number of people. Smaller and more inviting is Cala del Pi, 200m further north along the Camí de Ronda; its underwater rocks and craggy point make it perfect for snorkelling.A long tunnel separates this from Ses Rodones de Terra, where stone steps lead down through clumps of bamboo to a rugged mosaic of boulders and beach, a favourite with nude bathers.
Further along the footpath, Cala Belladona is less busy than its neighbours, and you’ll find good snorkelling and swimming a long way out into the steeply shelving sea. Finally, Platja de Can Cristus, most easily reached from the road, has a good sandy beach, but can get crowded owing to the presence of two large campsites nearby.

Największy basen ze wszystkich dotychczas odiedzanych kempingów, bliskość centrum handlowego I promenady nadmorskiej. Pobrano od nas dodatkowo opłatę za koce ( których nie było na standardowym wyposażeniu 5 euro od sztuki-pierwszy raz coś takiego się zdarzyło a odwidzamy kampingi w Hiszpani, Francji, Włoszech oraz Niemczech od kilku lat). Lokalizacja mobile home na samym koncu kamingu |

La relativa cercanía de la playa (1 km) Muebles de madera en el mobilhome. Espacio para guardar. Cuando llegamos al mobilhome, las camas no estaban hechas, ni había tampoco toallas. Llamé a recepción y me dijeron que era así, que lo ponían en las condiciones de la reserva. Estuve mirando la web del camping en Booking.com, y no había nada acerca de toallas y sábanas. Luego, la recepcionista reconoció que yo tenía razón pero me dijo que el fallo era de Booking.com. El caso es me dio unas sábanas que habitualmente alquilan. Menudas sábanas, cortadas de mala manera con tijeras, muy justas de tamaño, las peores sábanas que he visti en la vida. No me dio toallas porque no tenía. Nos tuvimos que secar con las toallas de playa. Por este precio y en un camping tan normalito, tendrían que proporcionar toallas y sábanas. Menos mal que pasamos allí solo una noche, nunca volvería a este camping. |

L'atenció del personal, especialment de la recepcionista, deixa molt que desitjar. Si la pimera impressió només arribar és aquest tracte....no fa falta dir res més. No lo recomiendo en ningún caso, ha sido una gran DECEPCIÓN!!!!las fotos no se corresponden con el mobilhome, bombona de butano vacía, ducha fría y poca presión de agua, sábanas con mala olor, mantas con pelos, te cobran por sabana 5 € y manta 7€, no estaba puesto el toldo a pesar de que lo pedímos expresamente no lo pusieron, no hay extintores, mobilhome situado de cara a muro de tochos (pésima vista), comida pésima en el bar (hamburguesas crudas por dentro, tortilla patatas en mal estado), colchon de muelles en mal estado. |

El cámping està bé, ben situat, ampli. Piscina molt gran. El mòbil home també bé, ben distribuit, amb espai suficient. Un matalàs incòmode, molt gastat, poc comfortable. Alguns estris de la cuina també en mal estat. |

Godt reinhald i området. Gode badefasilitetar. Kort veg til byen og stranda. Svært god service! Litt bråk om nettene. Andre fasilitetar (minigolf, fotballbane, leikeplass) treng oppgradering/oppussing. |

Zeer aangename nette Camping met voor ons alles wat we nodig hadden Zwembad ping pong ... goede supermarkt . zeer vriendelijk aangenaam personeel. Animatie ook 'savonds eenvoudig maar voldoende Dichtbij leuk stadje met goede winkelstraat en restaurantjes markten ,alsook permanente kermis.. Dichtbij strand en andere bekende stadjes ... Wij hadden gedurende de eerste week naast en over ons 3 Stacaravans met groepen Saanse jongeren die heel de nacht van de ene naar de andere caravaan gingen feesten, overal afval achterlieten ... dit koste wel wat nachtrust en frustratie. daar wij hadden vernomen dat de camping gezinnen met kinderen prefereerde en zeer streng was op het reglement heeft het toch enkele dagen geduurd voor ze uiteindelijk de camping moesten verlaten, dit zou harder moeten aangepakt worden of preventief aan die gasten moeten meegeven worden het daar toch ibiza niet hé. |

El camping té molt bones instal°lacions i la mobile home on ens vam allotjar està molt bé!!! Hi havia tot el necesssari per poder passar uns dies fora de casa! Se'ns dubte, si torno a platja d'aro, probaré d'allotjar-me allà! Litt bråk om nettene. Andre fasilitetar (minigolf, fotballbane, leikeplass) treng oppgradering/oppussing. |
