The beach is small and rocky, but the water is stunningly clear. Just be mindful of jellyfish in the water. The atmosphere is very peaceful and tranquil, making it a highly recommended spot to visit. Arriving early (before 11am) allowed me to secure a parking spot right by the entrance, but there are only a limited number of spaces available. The path leading down to the cove is rocky, so it's important to wear sturdy footwear. If you're up for a 30-minute walk, you can also reach Cala Pola from here.

After leaving Cala Pola, I stumbled upon a secluded cove beach while following the dirt track towards Tossa De Mar. I couldn't resist taking a dip in the crystal-clear water to refresh my entire body. I definitely suggest checking out this hidden gem of a beach if you have the chance.

This is a great spot for a peaceful day at the beach! Just keep in mind that you'll need to park on the side of the road and walk downhill for 7-9 minutes (so wear comfortable shoes). Alternatively, you can pay 15€ to park in a private lot for the day. Restrooms are only available at the restaurant. You can also rent kayaks and paddleboards. Don't forget to bring your own umbrella!

This Cala is really lovely. To get there, you have to take a walk along the cliff, which offers some stunning views. The beach itself is quite sheltered, with no streams and easy to reach. The only downside is the boats, which tend to come too close to the small beach instead of keeping a safe distance of at least 50 or even 100 meters.

We parked our car in the designated parking spots on the road, but unfortunately, it was stolen when we returned. I would suggest only going there by foot, as it takes around 40 minutes to walk from Tossa de Mar. However, the view is truly breathtaking.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Bona (Girona) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Bona (Girona) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Bona for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
