Latest reviews on Costa Brava's beaches

Platja del Borro

8 Rajan Mehta

That place is ideal for those who want to get away from it all. It is not easy to access this beach by public transport; the nearest train stations, Colera and Llança, are 3-4 kms away. It is a naturist beach, so remember to bring your own food, as there are no bars or restaurants nearby. If you are travelling by car, however, it is easy to get here. The sea is tranquil, making it perfect for swimming and snorkelling.

Platja de Fenals

6 Holly Thompson

This place is simply stunning! It's very clean and clear waters make it the perfect spot for parasailing, pedaloing, banana boat rides, or even day trips to other resorts. During peak season, it's likely to be quite busy, but that doesn't take away from its beauty. Plus, it's easy to access, so you can quickly and easily enjoy all that it has to offer. Whether you're looking to relax or stay active, this beach has it all!

Cala Belladona

1 POY P

The municipalities of Playa d'Aro and Calonge have allowed dogs to come to this small cove, without measuring the consequences of it... This beautiful beach has become a nightmare, dogs are let loose, they bark, run everywhere in small groups with very lax supervision from the owners. They defecate everywhere. This place is becoming very unsanitary because in addition to dog droppings, the access is invaded by the rubbish of the hotel above which maintains its garbage containers very badly.

Platja de La Musclera

8 Soundwave X

This beach in the Maresme area is definitely one of the best to enjoy. It stands out as the only nudist beach in the vicinity. In the past, there used to be a variety of beach bars to choose from, but now it seems that there is only one or maybe two bars, depending on the year. Unfortunately, there are no public toilets available, and the parking lot is quite small.

Platja Rovellada

La Fosca beach La Fosca

8 Liam Thomas

This place is huge and tranquil, with crystal clear waters! The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, and it's the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of nature.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 37 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
