Es Cucurucuc de sa Cebolla is an islet feature of the Bay of Cadaqués, the largest natural port in Catalonia and the most sheltered and deepest on the entire Costa Brava. The seascape and the rocky spike appear in "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate One Second before Awakening" (1944) by surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.

Platja Gran y Esportal is the main beach of Cadaqués, Spain, where most of the tourists and locals enjoy the calm waters. The 200 meter-long gravel and sand beach has a promenade paved with stone slabs. Visitors will find a display with the painting at it's southwest end. There, a metal post supports a clear glass plaque to which the image is mounted and, simultaneously, offers view of the painting and the actual location. The artwork's title and a map appear on the lower half of the display.

The actual painting is located at Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, Spain.
