Once passed the marina continue following the road around to Playa de la Pallisseta beach.
The path behind Playa de la Pallisseta beach is a scenic tree lined path leading into the village of Roc de Sant Gaietà, one of the most beautiful villages on the Costa Dorada and I recommend spending at least half an hour exploring the narrow streets.
Within the village is a quant little museum called Museu de la Ràdio Luis del Olmo, a collection of more than 540 historic radio sets through the ages as well as prizes awarded to radio journalists. The museum also has a room dedicated to the architect and artist Joseph Maria Jujol (collaborator of Gaudi).
Roc de Sant Gaietà is also an option for getting lunch in one of the many seafront restaurants. Leave the village of Roc de Sant Gaietà crossing over the footbridge of Playa de la Punta d'en Guineu. This is a good place to swim to have scenic backdrop of the village.
The trail continues via a footpath along the coast through a pine forest passing the small secluded Platja dels Capellans and shortly arriving at the Peu de Berà viewpoint where we see the wide sandy beach of Platja Llarga in Roda de Berà. Cross This beach walking along the shore line or via the passeig Maritim into Platja de Bera and Creixell Platges.
