A Guide to Tossa de Mar Holidays

Platja Gran Beach

Platja Gran Beach

The largest beach in Tossa De Mar, Platja Gran starts at the walls of Castillo de Tossa and runs almost as far as the eye can see. Sun loungers and umbrellas cover the pebbles as families enjoy the calm Mediterranean waters throughout the summer months. Boat tours leaving from the beach can give you an incredible view of the castle, and after a long day of doing nothing, you only have to walk a couple of meters behind you to find dozens of places where you can get a quick bite to eat.

Castillo De Tossa De Mar

Castillo De Tossa De Mar

This incredible 12th century castle still stands proud, overlooking the town of Tossa de Mar. It’s impossible to miss the castle’s magnificent walls from pretty much anywhere in the town (you’ll get a great view by simply heading down to Platja Gran beach), but to truly take in all its splendour you’ll want to walk up the gentle incline to reach the upper sections. Don’t worry, there’s a café at the top so you can grab a cold drink while enjoying the views.

Moorish Tower

Moorish Tower

If Castillo de Tossa de Mar isn’t enough for a full family day of activities, the Moorish tower will provide enough excitement to tire the kids out. The ancient battlement looks like something out of Game of Thrones. It’s a bit harder to reach on foot than the castle, but the views from the tower are truly spectacular.

Cala Pola Cove

Cala Pola Cove

Sometimes the best way to enjoy a holiday with the kids is to let them run wild on a hidden beach away from the crowds. If this is what you’re looking for in Tossa de Mar then look no further than Cala Pola. Hiding in a little cove just outside of the main town, Cala Pola offers a more relaxed alternative to Platja Gran but still has several beach-side bars and restaurants to choose from. You can get here with ease by hailing a taxi, but those searching for a bit of a family adventure can walk along the coast to reach this hidden gem.

Getting Around Tossa de Mar

🚌 Transport in the Tossa de Mar Region

Tossa de Mar is a far smaller town than many of its coastal neighbours, so you can easily travel to most places within the town by foot. It’s also a fairly flat destination so kids won’t get tired trudging up and down hills all day.

Travelling by bus or carVisitors can travel around the resort easily via public transport. There is a reliable bus service which stops at many of the resort's popular attractions. There is lots of free parking near the town centre so getting into Tossa de Mar by car isn’t difficult. There is also a bus station which offers frequent services to and from Barcelona and nearby beach-town Lloret de Mar.  
Passports and Visas

Tossa de Mar is in Spain, therefore British travellers don’t need a visa to visit – make sure your passport is valid for the entire duration of your trip though. The UK currently has a Withdrawal Agreement with EU countries which states that there will be no changes to entry requirements during the Brexit implementation period (30 March 2019 to 21 December 2020).

Health and Safety

We’d always advise taking out travel insurance before travelling anywhere abroad and to make sure you have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Tossa de Mar is generally a very safe place, and an ideal destination for those travelling with children. Petty crime such as pickpocketing does occur though, so take care of your valuables while you’re out and about. Tap water throughout Spain is considered safe to drink, however it might make you feel a little queasy if you don’t have a strong stomach, simply because it’s different to the tap water you are used to at home. If you are concerned, stick to bottled or boiled water during your holiday.

Vaccinations

Spain is a developed country so serious contagious diseases are very rare. However, if you want to ensure you are as safe as possible, the World Health Organisation do recommend the following vaccinations before travelling to the country: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, meningitis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis), chickenpox, shingles, pneumonia and influenza.
