Fornells de Mar (zipcode 17255), also known as Platja de Fornells or simply Fornells, is a village, bay and beach on the Costa Brava and in the municipality of Begur, Catalonia, Spain. It lies close to the bay of Aiguablava, between Sa Tuna and Tamariu. It was formerly mainly a fishing village and there is still some fishing activity.[1][2]
There is a marina and two tiny beaches as well as the larger “Platja Fonda” nearby, where the Torras i Arruga family has several luxury estates.[citation needed]
