Roses's waters, in practice

The wide, sandy bay of Roses, backed by the last Pyrenean foothills of Cap de Creus. Wind-wise: a tramontane feared around Cap de Creus — the gulf then falls back on its sheltered waters.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Roses harbour, below the citadel. The local classics: the Cap de Creus natural park and its mineral coves, whitewashed Cadaqués, and the gulf’s endless beach. High season: from June to September, Cadaqués ideally reached from the sea.
