We will be going to Tossa De Mar and also want to go to Palafrugell, we have been told to go to Gerona and from there catch a local bus, I would assume you will have to do the same. I don't think it can be reached by boat but i may be wrong. Hope that helps it looks a really nice place, have you checked out the web cam

Have been looking on the web cam most days - come Wednesday only 4 weeks to go - cant wait!
