The original development has been declared as a historical complex and protected as a cultural asset of national interest since 1995. The GR 92 long-distance footpath, which runs the length of the Mediterranean coast of Spain, uses the historic camí de ronda that follows s'Agaró's coastline.

To the north, the GR 92 crosses the beach of Sa Conca and diverts around the extensive Marina de Port d'Oro to reach Platja d'Aro. To the south it passes along the beach of Sant Pol to reach Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
