Estartit - Costa Brava
Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park
L’Estartit is located at the heart of three different landscapes that together form the Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park. Thanks to this privileged location, visitors to L’Estartit can enjoy the great diversity of natural spaces, species, habitats, towns and activities available here.
The Medes Islands archipelago
The Medes Islands archipelago is made up of seven islets blessed with enormous natural beauty that is unique in Catalonia. Highlights include its coralline walls, posidonia (or Neptune grass) meadow, underwater coves and tunnels. Diving is one of the main activities in the Medes Islands Nature Reserve and it is regulated to protect this area and the Montgrí coast. This is also an ideal location for practicing other sports such as snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddle surfing or enjoying a relaxing sailing trip on one of the boats that come and go from L’Estartit’s leisure harbour.
