A 2.5-hour boat outing from L'Estartit to the Negre de Falaguer / Punta Salinas cove for an open-water swim among rocky bottoms and posidonia meadows; this guide lays out the route, highlights and practical facts for the excursion.
A swim to Negre de Falaguer: cliffs, caves and posidonia off L'Estartit.
The Costa del Montgrí around L'Estartit is an abrupt, wind-sculpted coastline of sea cliffs, hidden caves and isolated coves. On this short boat outing you cross to one of the park’s most private anchorages — Negre de Falaguer (also described as Punta Salinas) — where the shore falls away into clear water, rocky bottoms and posidonia meadows alive with fish. The experience reads as equal parts quick coastal passage and intimate immersion in a protected marine landscape.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Sea cliffs and hidden coves
The coastline here is abrupt and dramatic, with towering cliffs and small, sheltered caverns that frame the cove where the boat drops anchor — a defining visual of the Montgrí, Illes Medes i el Baix Ter natural park.
Posidonia meadows and rocky seabeds
Bathers enter waters that hold seagrass prairies and rocky substrates; the area supports multiple fish species and represents a preserved marine ecosystem worth exploring from the surface.
A boat trip to a secluded cove
The outing’s key logistical feature is the crossing by boat to an exclusive cove — identified in sources as Negre de Falaguer or Punta Salinas — making the swim an encounter with a tightly protected coastal landscape.
