The Illa de Caramany is a river island located two kilometres from the mouth of the Fluvià, within the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, in Castelló d'Empúries. It is home to one of the most extensive, best-structured and best-preserved riverside forests in the park, with native species such as willows, poplars, ash trees, elms and tamarisks. The island is also an important site for the wintering and nesting of herons and other birds. It holds the dual status of integral nature reserve and partial nature reserve, and is part of the Natura 2000 Network, with the code ES0000019.
