Property for Sale in Sa Riera, Begur

Sa Riera is a small seaside community on the coast of Begur, set around a sheltered cove with a sandy beach and a handful of seafront restaurants. Pine-covered slopes rise on both sides of the bay, and villas sit among the trees with views of the water.

The setting is calm and village-like rather than commercial. Sa Riera is a short drive from Begur town, so the shops, services and the historic centre are never far away. Coastal paths link the cove with neighbouring beaches such as Aiguafreda and Sa Tuna, and walkers can follow the Camí de Ronda along the cliffs.

The people who buy here are usually looking for an easy, relaxed beach lifestyle: couples, families and second-home owners from the Netherlands, France, the UK and Germany as well as from Barcelona.

Why buy property in Sa Riera?

Sa Riera is a good match for buyers who want a beach cove without the crowds of a big resort. Reasons include:

• Sheltered sandy cove – calm water that suits swimming and families.
• Near Begur town for shopping, restaurants and everyday services.
• Wooded hillside with sea views from many properties.
• Coastal walking along the Camí de Ronda in both directions.
• A quiet atmosphere compared with larger Costa Brava resorts.

Living in Sa Riera

Daily life in Sa Riera is simple: a few restaurants and bars by the beach, a handful of small businesses and a quiet residential area on the hillside. Most weekly shopping is done in Begur, a few minutes away by car, and larger supermarkets and healthcare are in Palafrugell and Palamós.

The beach itself is sandy and protected by the headlands on either side, which keeps the water relatively calm. In winter the hamlet is very peaceful, and a car is necessary. Parking near the beach can be tight in high summer.

The airport at Girona is about 45 minutes away. Next door is Aiguablava, another well-known bay of the same municipality, and the rest of the coast is described on our Costa Brava page.
