Cala Estreta
8 Josephine Tully

This place is a true paradise - the 30 minute hike is worth it! The trek offers a stunning coastal forest to explore. Even though the path is moderate, the reward of crystal clear waters is incomparable. I have never seen a more beautiful beach in my life!

Cala Bona
10 Larissa Kline

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!

Cala Salionc
10 Lysander Thorne

We have stayed at La Cala for three 15-day vacations and it is an amazing place. The beach is beautiful, perfect for cliff jumping, with clear water and a great restaurant. The evenings are very calm with a peaceful atmosphere.

Cala Spiratiu
2 Zane Thompson

The number of robberies at the beach is unbelievable, and the situation is deteriorating.

Platja de Vallpresona
8 Aiden Carral

This place is a true hidden gem! A 15-minute path leads to the cove, which is well-marked with a few tricky spots. The shore is made up of stones, so it's a good idea to bring a sponge or two to place underneath your towel. When I visited on September 19, 2018, I had the entire beach to myself - apart from a couple who stayed away from me. All in all, it's a wonderful place to spend a day.

Cala del Crit
8 Samantha

This spot has a stunning cove, and is very tranquil. The water is crystal clear and well worth the walk it takes to get there. If you're sensitive to the terrain, make sure to wear appropriate footwear, as there are a lot of rocks when you enter the water. Also, please note that this beach is a nudist beach!
