Golf (Gulf): from the Latin colphus, and the Greek kólpos. Geographical accident with a form of cavity of the sea over the coast.
Roses: from Rodhe, colony founded by the Greeks from the island of Rodes (Ródos).

The rocky formations of Norfeu on the North (42º 14' 15'' N - 3º 15' 45'' E on the Cavall Bernat) and the Punta Salinas on the South (42º 3' 50'' N - 3º 12' 45'' E), at a distance of 10,8 km., are the limit by the sea side and the beaches of Sant Pere Pescador (3º 7' E) are the limits on the land side.
The special climatology of the area, with humid days as it's normal near the sea and dry days when the Tramuntana appears, with comfortable temperatures in winter and summer, and beaches with a smooth pendent and fine sand on the West and mountains on the North and the South, with wind practically assured at any season of the year, make this part of the Mediterranean an ideal place to live and enjoy the sea, over and under the water.
