9 Summer Plans with Friends on the Costa Brava (and Surroundings)

6 de August de 2025

Summer is the perfect time to create unforgettable memories with friends: sun, beach, nature, and shared adventures. The Costa Brava and its surroundings offer a wide range of options to enjoy with your group.

If you’re looking for summer plans to do with friends, here are 9 fun, original, and energetic ideas for a unique experience.

1. Experience a Youthful Camping Vibe

Campsites on the Costa Brava are much more than places to sleep: they’re communities where activities are organized and moments are shared. You’ll find campsites perfect for groups of friends, with swimming pools, barbecue areas, concerts, and even mobile discos.

2. Spend the Day at a Hidden Cove

One of the best things to do with friends at the beach is discovering little-known coves, such as Cala Estreta in Palamós, Cala Aiguablava in Begur, or Cala Montgó in L’Escala. Equipped with towels, a cooler, and music, you can spend the day swimming, sunbathing, and sharing picnics in dreamy surroundings.

3. Group Kayaking or Paddle Surfing

Water activities are a summer classic, but doing them with friends makes them even more special. In many spots along the Costa Brava (such as Colera, Sant Pere Pescador, or Calonge), you can rent kayaks or paddleboards and explore the coastline together from the water.

If you and your friends are sea and adventure sports lovers, this is the place for you! Check out this link for ideas to enjoy a unique aquatic experience together.

4. Hiking Routes with a Swim at the End

Per For more adventurous groups, the combination of nature and sport can be ideal. Trails along the sea or through forests and meadows, such as the Camí de Ronda between Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc or the Paratge de Tudela route in Cap de Creus, allow you to plan active outings with friends, ending with a refreshing swim and a stop for lunch or vermouth in a coastal village.

Plus, thanks to the Sports label, you can easily find campsites offering activities focused on nature and the outdoors.

5. Sunset and Live Music Nights

Few pleasures are as simple and powerful as watching the sunset with good company and background music. On the Costa Brava, some campsites offer open-air concerts and live music, such as Camping Illa Mateua (L’Escala), Camping Santa Elena (Lloret de Mar), Camping Rubina Resort (Empuriabrava), or Camping Bassegoda Park (Albanyà).

And if you love a lively night… some campsites also have mini-discos, DJ sets, or silent discos, like Camping Rodas (Roses), Camping Bungalow Resort & Spa La Ballena Alegre (Sant Pere Pescador), or Camping Sant Pol (Sant Feliu de Guíxols). A perfect way to end the day and start the night full of energy!

6. Excursions to Charming Villages and Summer Markets

An afternoon trip to visit fairytale medieval villages like Pals or Tossa de Mar can be an ideal group activity. In summer, many of these towns host markets, craft fairs, and festivals well worth exploring.

If you’re early risers, the traditional market in Tossa de Mar is a classic: every Thursday morning from 9 am to 1 pm, you can stroll through local stalls with fashion, flowers, and fresh food in an authentic atmosphere.

For evening plans, head to Santa Cristina d’Aro for the Santa Market, with hundreds of stalls featuring design, gastronomy, and DJ sets.
A perfect plan to combine culture, gastronomy, shopping, and music!

7. A Day of Adrenaline at a Water Park or Skydiving

For thrill-seekers, prepare for a day full of activity and adrenaline! Start the day at a water park such as Aquadiver in Platja d’Aro, Water World in Lloret de Mar, or Aquabrava in Roses, where you’ll find giant slides, wave pools, and areas to relax and grab a bite.

To keep the excitement going, book a once-in-a-lifetime tandem jump at Skydive Empuriabrava, one of Europe’s most renowned skydiving spots.

A perfect combination for an intense summer day with friends and a break from the routine!

8. Gastronomic Route: Wine and Tapas with Friends

The Costa Brava boasts a millennia-old wine tradition thanks to the D.O. Empordà, and many campsites with the Land of Wines label bring this culture closer to visitors.

Many group plans include wine tastings among the vineyards, choosing local producers, and pairing them with tapas, cheeses, and regional cuisine. Some campsites even collaborate with wineries such as Mas Llunes, La Vinyeta, or Mas Eugeni to offer tastings directly on-site or guided visits the same day.

These plans are perfect for sharing, laughing, and toasting to friendship.

9. Impromptu Sports Tournaments at the Campsite

Many campsites have football, padel, beach volleyball, or basketball courts, perfect for organizing friendly tournaments or meeting other groups. Playing impromptu matches is not only fun but also creates a great atmosphere and strengthens bonds.

A different way to enjoy the facilities and stay active while keeping the holiday vibe alive.
