What to know before going to Sa Riera Beach

Sa Riera is the largest cove in the municipality of Begur, with more than 200 meters in length. If you are planning to spend a few days in Begur, you cannot miss a visit to this unique beach, with Port des Pi on the right and Cala del Rey on the left. Its name comes from a torrent that was once divided into two parts. On one side we find boats and on the other all the space for bathers. In front of the beach some of the fishermen’s houses with porches are still preserved.
