Palamós boasts a number of major sports installations and clubs as well as a superb coastline which combines long sandy beaches and tiny coves with crystalline waters, ideal for practising sea sports like rowing, sailing, canoeing, paddle surf, kayaking and open-water swimming.

Every year the bay of Palamós hosts important sports events, particularly sailing events, such as the Christmas Race, the Palamós International Optimist Trophy and the Baix Empordà Trophy, in addition to events involving other sports such as the International Junior MIC Football Tournament and the International Junior Basketball Tournament.

Palamós is making a name for itself as one of the best destinations for hosting sports events like the 1st International Costa Brava Beach Polo Tournament and the Costa Brava Historical Rally.

Palamós is just 100 km from the city of Barcelona, and 40 km from the Girona-Costa Brava Airport, and as such enjoys a strategic location and the ideal climate for practising sports all the year round.
