The beach season begins with the start of the lifeguard service at Platja Gran de l'Estartit

Torroella de Montgrí and l’Estartit have inaugurated the tourist season with the start of the lifeguard service on the main beach of l’Estartit, coinciding with the start of the Easter holidays. This service is offered from 11 am to 6 pm.

Over the past few weeks, the municipal brigade has been conditioning the beaches of the municipality and setting up its services so that the first users of the season find them in perfect conditions. Footbridges and green areas have been installed: parking lots have been conditioned and public toilets have been prepared. This year, the extreme drought situation that the country is experiencing, with a state of emergency and restrictions on water consumption, has meant that showers and footbaths have not been installed as a saving measure. The toilet services will have water, but only for washing hands and faces. It is requested to use it responsibly and avoid wasting it.
