2016-09-03 Cala de Sa Tuna to Cala Fosca via Cala Castell, Costa Brava, Spain

Another very warm day and the beach in the southwestern cove of Sa Tuna is full once again

Again it is a very warm day and the tiny beach in the south western cove of Sa Tuna has very little room left for many more sun worshipers!

We decide we would keep on the move and find another nice anchorage to moor overnight

We head south down the coast and enter the large bay of Aiguablava by the town of Fornells

The coves and beaches in the bay are certainly popular at the moment

As we continue we pass many amazing houses built into the high cliffs along the spectacular coast

Wonderful rugged coastline around the Tamariu area

The wonderful rugged coastline around Carla Llarga in the Tamariu area is a very popular daytime anchorage in good weather with the locals and holidaymakers

Diving excursions along this coast are also plentiful

We pass many diving boats returning from their diving excursions

Tamariu is another busy small holiday town along this coast

The beach by the holiday town of Tamariu seems to be as busy as all the others we have passed on our journey down the coast

Interesting rock formations nearby

The Sant Sebastià Lighthouse stands 175 metres above sea level on a cliff set between the beaches of Tamariu and Llafranc

An interesting way of getting exercise while fishing!

We approach the seaside town of Llafranc

The picturesque town situated in the heart of the Costa Brava boasts unbelievable prices for properties overlooking the sea in the area

Day tripper boats are very popular in the area

Day tripper boats are very popular for tourists all along the coast

This is another beautiful area of the Costa Brava

Further south just off the coast by popular diving area of Cala Estreta are the Illes Formigues

We finally decide join a number of other boats and drop our anchor in Cala de Castell a popular anchorage north of the town of Palamos

Nearby we see old ruins perched on a hill overlooking the bay

We pass the remains of an old castle called Castell de Sant Esteve as we move to a nearby anchorage that would be more suitable for our overnight stay

Cala de Fosca, where we drop anchor again is another popular beach resort

It was quite a sight watching this group paddling around the bay at dusk

A boat load of girls arrive with a captain to enjoy a swim and cocktails before moving on!!

All the boats in the bay leave which gives us the opportunity to tuck ourselves closer in the corner of the bay in case the wind that was forecast may be a little heavier

Another pleasant anchorage
