- Punta Falconera
This cap is the southernmost point of Cap de Creus and separates the two costs of Roses: the Badia de Montjoi and the Cales de Canyelles Grosses and Canyelles Petites. The action of the sea and the wind have been followed by a surprising coast to the eastern side, rocky to the west, presided over by cap Norfeu.

It is a good diving place, with vertical walls of 30 meters with many gorgonians. We can also find red coral and lobster colonies.
- Almadrava
The beach waters are very calm and pleasant. The cove is protected from the Tramuntana wind, which comes from the north. Its waters on the shores are shallow, so we will not notice large changes in level as we progress through it. The sand on the surface is of a fine type and of a toasted golden color.
- Canyelles Petites
Cala Canyelles is a beautiful beach located about 3km from the center of Roses. Perfect to spend the day on a boat or make a last stop before returning to the port.
It is a 370 m long beach, with fine golden sand, transparent waters and a sandy bottom, perfectly sheltered from the tramontana wind.
- La Rubina
La Rubina beach is also known locally as the wild beach. And it is not strange. The beach has been preserved from urban exploitation with no nearby buildings, unlike what happens on the neighboring beaches of Santa Margarida and Empuriabrava. Located between the entrances to the ports of both developments, this fine sand beach is surrounded by dunes, subsequent dunes and lagoon systems typical of marsh areas.
