About

Cala Fornells is located on the Balearic Sea (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 176th place out of 189 beaches in the Girona region 52.7 km away from its center, the city of Girona. It is one of the beaches of el Port de la Selva settlement, just 1.9 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place.

It is a small bay with crystal blue water and gray pebble, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The entrance to the water is very smooth. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Cala Fornells coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

14 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Platja de Cap de Bol, which has a rating of 7.4.

Cala Fornells (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the el Port de la Selva settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Cala Fornells, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

8 Very good

The journey to the cove is incredibly picturesque and not too strenuous. It's important to wear appropriate footwear though. The cove is a bit of an eyesore as it's constructed from stone and the sea washes up all the rubbish we discard. It's a 40-minute maximum trek.

Cala Fornells is quite a distance away from Port de la Selva, a 45-minute journey in fact. You have to traverse a winding, green route that runs through the mountains close to the town. While the walk may be pleasant, the beach itself is stunning. However, bear in mind that there is no Wi-Fi access here. Additionally, the beach is made up of stones, so take care when walking around.

This beach is alright. A decent spot to spend some time, but nothing special.

A trip to Barcelona, Catalan and Costa Brava would not be complete without visiting this secret beach in Spain. It's one of the best beaches in the region.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Fornells (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 Fornells (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 Fornells 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.
