The most famous beach is the Platja de Roses, which stretches south of the old town for 1790 metres between the mouth of the Riera Ginjolers and the Platja Santa Margarida.

Travelers and Activities
Hikers who rent a holiday apartment in Roses benefit from the wonderful starting position. The proximity to the Cap de Creus, the eastern Pyrenees as well as the coasts along the Costa Brava offer countless hiking trails. A highlight is the 18.9 kilometre GR92 coastal hike from Roses to Cadaques.
Roses for water sports enthusiastsWith the sheltered bays of Roses and the prevailing north wind caused by the Pyrenees, the coastal town offers ideal conditions for water sports. The offer is boundless and on the beaches you will find a variety of providers for sailboat tours, kayak trips as well as diving stations or surf schools. Parasailing, paddle surfing, banana boats and flyboards round off the water sports perfectly.
In the harbour about 40 traditional fishing boats anchor, which go fishing close to the coast. The freshly caught fish are auctioned in the fish hall after a rough sea.
