With its long sandy beaches and a myriad of activities and attractions, Sant Antoni de Calonge offers a perfect retreat for holidaymakers seeking a memorable Mediterranean getaway.Originally a fishing village populated from the medieval town of Calonge following a decline in piracy on the Costa Brava, today the town is a busy tourist destination with a long beach in the Bay of Palamós. The beach is a couple of kilometres long with a number of T-shaped breakwaters along its length. They were built to prevent sand erosion, partially caused by the development of the port at Palamós.
