The Golf de Roses ( German " Gulf of Rosas ", Spanish Golfo de Rosas ) is located south of Cap de Creus and forms the main part of the coast of the comarca of Alt Empordà (Spanish: Alto Empordà ) in Catalonia, Spain. There is also the town of Roses, which gave its name to the Gulf. Another important city on the Gulf of Roses is L' Escala, which is located on the opposite side of Roses at the southern edge of the gulf.

The Gulf of Roses begins on the northeast by the Punta Falconera, at the eastern end of the Cap de Creus, runs over the Bay of Roses, past Empuriabrava - where the river Muga flows into the Mediterranean - the beach Can Comes as part of the natural park Empordà Marshes, the beach of Sant Pere Pescador - where the river Fluvia opens - until the bay of Riells ( Cala de Riells ) and Punta Trencabraços, which represents the southern end of its coastline.

After the Spanish Civil War, General Franco had built above a rocky coast bunkered gun batteries in order to meet a possible invasion of the Allies to the wide, sandy beach in the bay of Roses military can.
