Positive experience: It's nice but getting there can be tricky. I got a flat tire. You have to be very careful. A lot of road and risk of flat tires. I went in October and it was very calm.
Fantastic experience: A little safe paradise between sky and sea! The path I took to get there was marked 'error Google Map' but I took it anyway. There are several access points, including the one from GR92 and the camí de Ronda passing by the beaches that I highly recommend <3 the beach for swimming is small but full of charm!
Fantastic experience: Cove with fantastic scenery and marine life, it has access by dirt path on foot
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. 30-minute walk from the parking but it's worth it. Mixed beach, textile and nudist. Be careful where to swim because of the rocks at the water's edge.
Fantastic experience: A quiet place ideal for snorkeling. It's a walking stretch that you can do around the coast (great views although it can be a bit pricey) or via a path from the paid parking.

Fantastic experience: Una cala muy bonita y relativamente íntima, ya que no está llena de gente y hay mucho espacio. El agua súper limpia, y está situada cerca de otras calitas. Desde la playa del Castell hay una media hora/45 minutos andando por el Camino de la Ronda (si hace calor se hace un poco pesado y hay que subir y bajar bastante, pero vale la pena). Otra ventaja es que se permiten perros
Fantastic experience: Espectacular. Una cala preciosa, ideal para hacer snorkel. Muchos peces, llegamos a ver un pulpo y una Morena dentro de la misma cala. Hay que llegar pronto porque no hay mucho sitio. Rectificando otros comentarios, los perros están prohibidos, va pasando la guardia forestal y echa a las personas con mascotas. Imprescindible llevar escarpines por las rocas al entrar al agua

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, although it is getting quite crowded with people taking pictures. A nice natural environment; if you're very lucky, you can get some shade. (It's rocky, so it's advisable to wear beach shoes or flip-flops that secure your foot.)
Fantastic experience: 45 minutes de marche depuis le parking de la plage principale pour tomber sur une succession de 4 criques de sables et rochers. Eau limpide en bonus et calme. c est très très joli et encore intact. Un endroit à protéger témoin d une époque ancienne.
Fantastic experience: Cala Preciosa, salvaje, con muy poca arena pero nada masificada. La recomiendo 100%. Nosotros fuimos en kayak desde la Cala Palamos. Muy chula para hacer snorkel
Fantastic experience: Preciosa cala a la que llegamos por el Camino de Ronda desde la Fosca, llegamos super pronto y no había prácticamente nadie por lo que desconozco si se suele abarrotar, destacar el rincón especial y único de la Barraca d’en Quico. No tiene mucha arena ni fácil acceso, pero es muy bonita y merece la pena el paseo hasta llegar. No tiene duchas ni chiringuitos.
Fantastic experience: Agua, arena, entorno, todo ideal

Fantastic experience: Para poder acceder a esta cala tenemos diferentes opciones o caminando o en coche. Andando salimos desde sa Fosca en Palamos y en coche hay que ir a playa del Castell pero tendremos que pagar parking. Desde la playa del Castell, caminaremos unos 20min. El camino es bastante bueno pero con algún desnivel como en todo camino de ronda. La cala es estrecha, por este motivo recibe su nombre. Hay que mencionar que es una playa sin servicios , no encontraremos ningun Chiringuito en la zona, no es una playa muy concurrida ya que hay que caminar bastante,se permite la práctica del nudismo. Caminando 20 min mas llegaremos a la foradada otro espectáculo de la naturaleza , merece la pena ir .
Fantastic experience: Un paraíso! Accedes por el camino de Ronda. Es una playa muy natural, sin vigilancia ni chiringuitos. Hay rocas y altas en el mar pero es una auténtica belleza

Fantastic experience: Es una de las más bonitas de la costa brava, por su tranquilidad y por las vistas. El acceso es algo duro ya que hay que caminar bastante entre la montaña, y llano no es. No hay chiringuito así que prepárate una nevera con cosas frescas para cuando llegues porque la vas a necesitar, tampoco hay mucha sombra… id preparados porque sino lo pasaréis mal
Fantastic experience: Espectacular zona de calas. Se llama cala Estreta pero en realidad son diversas calitas seguidas con unas vistas maravillosas, tranquilidad y un agua cristalina. Eso si, tendreis que caminar un poco para poder llegar pero vale la pena la excursion. No hay ningun tipo de chiringuito o restaurantes, por tanto llevaos lo que necesiteis y es NUDISTA!

Fantastic experience: Three small coves one after the other. Clean water, a bit of a long walk to get there. It's not a problem to be without a swimsuit.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. 30-minute walk from the parking but it's worth it. Mixed beach, textile and nudist. Be careful where to swim because of the rocks at the water's edge.
Fantastic experience: For me, the most beautiful and wild cove of the Costa Brava, naturist and with an unparalleled environment, crystal clear waters and a seabed for snorkeling, 30 minutes from Castell and 30 from Cap Roig, walking, it's right in the middle, which makes it less accessible.
Fantastic experience: An easy 30 minutes walk from the carpark and you will be rewarded by the beautiful beach. Most of the part is for naturist.
Fantastic experience: The cove is beautiful and clean. The gentleman at the booth is a really nice guy.

Fantastic experience: Small top beach, remember to bring a mask and snorkel. When you arrive, don't forget to greet the person who lives there (he is very nice and interesting).
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Costa Brava. You cannot get there by car, it’s a 30 min walk from the closest parking. It’s a group of five calas, one of them is nudist. Some people camp here during the night. It’s a great spot for snorkeling, and very quiet. Totally recommended.

Fantastic experience: Naturaleza, sonido unicamente del aire y los animales. Caminos bien conservados y limpios. Olor a bosque, sin polución. No hay edificaciones. Solo puede accederse andando. Puedes ir con el perro o bici. En el agua hay gran biodiversidad de peces. No hay medusas. Debemos llevar buenas provisiones de agua fresca.
Fantastic experience: Zona de calas muy guapas, perfectas para el buceo y relajar. Aparcar en el parking privado de la cala del castell, y seguir caminando, son unos 20'/25'.

Fantastic experience: Cala Preciosa, salvaje, con muy poca arena pero nada masificada. La recomiendo 100%. Nosotros fuimos en kayak desde la Cala Palamos. Muy chula para hacer snorkel
Fantastic experience: Espectacular! Aparcar en el parking de pago de la playa del castell, tienes 30 minutos de Sendero por montaña señalizado! Playa naturista con muy buen rollo! Se puede hacer snorkel! Tambien se puede llegar alquilando un kayak en la playa del castell, lo recomiendo! Entre el camino puedes ver calas y la barraca de Dalí. Recomiendo ir con buen calzado y con agua! Repetiria seguro!
Fantastic experience: Perfect to reach by kayak from the nearby rental in 40 minutes. Getting to the beach there are some stones to check out and avoid. Sea shoes could be helpful but are not necessarily needed. The beach does not have any service so make sure you take all you need with you, especially water.

Fantastic experience: Paradise beach
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and quiet beach, but with little space to leave the towels. The coastal path is complicated but worth it for the views; it is stunning.
Fantastic experience: Very fun creek!
Fantastic experience: Three small coves one after the other. Clean water, a bit of a long walk to get there. It's not a problem to be without a swimsuit.
Fantastic experience: The visit that must not be missed
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful, a bit too crowded. Although it is normal in August.
Fantastic experience: Cove with fantastic scenery and marine life, it has access by dirt path on foot
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. 30-minute walk from the parking but it's worth it. Mixed beach, textile and nudist. Be careful where to swim because of the rocks at the water's edge.
Fantastic experience: It's idyllic and it is well earned. Beach partially nudist but in good understanding with the textiles.
Fantastic experience: The paradise is not so far away. It happened that there weren't many people. We met Quico, who is part of it, and we shared some very interesting conversations. A cove to remember and return to. Better without little ones, given the distance.
Fantastic experience: The best beach in Catalunya.
Positive experience: Another naturist designated area invaded by textiles
Fantastic experience: A quiet place ideal for snorkeling. It's a walking stretch that you can do around the coast (great views although it can be a bit pricey) or via a path from the paid parking.
Positive experience: Very nice walk to access it, but upon arrival, the space is quite limited. The coves are pretty but small, not really naturist, or if you move away...
Positive experience: I expected something more because of the hype. Complicated access from Castell. Lots of people and it wasn't peak season. It's worth it at least once.
Fantastic experience: Superb beach, far from the roads, wonderful access path via the coastal path. Very good spot for swimming, snorkeling.
Fantastic experience: Relaxing
Fantastic experience: Loved it!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful Place. I have to return in beach season. I discovered it while walking the Ronda path, which goes through the coves, and I fell in love with the place, its tranquility, and it was not touristy at all, or at least that was the impression it gave. I will return.
Fantastic experience: Difficult to reach in summer, amazing place.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful cove that can be reached by car, except in summer; I recommend walking from the Castell parking lot. Also, you will find Pitu, the caretaker of the cove, in the same hut. A place with a lot of magic.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove like the entire area of Palamos. You can't miss this place, great for a walk through all the coves in the area, the place is stunning and the sunset is a must-see. I recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Superb little naturist cove. Difficult to access. Happiness is earned!
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, although it is getting quite crowded with people taking pictures. A nice natural environment; if you're very lucky, you can get some shade. (It's rocky, so it's advisable to wear beach shoes or flip-flops that secure your foot.)

Fantastic experience: Super
Fantastic experience: Brilliant.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful
Fantastic experience: Beautiful nudist place
Fantastic experience: The cove is beautiful and clean. The gentleman at the booth is a really nice guy.
Positive experience: Optically strongly resembles a sweat stain produced by buttocks on a hot day. Supposedly nudist but tbh not much more nude than any other beach in Catalunya. Saw a couple eat pasta salad without utensils in a somewhat disgusting manner. Was disturbed but also intrigued enough to befriend them and they have since become part of the family. Takes about 30mins of moderate hiking to reach from the nearest beach, 50 from the nearest parking space so keep that in mind. 4/5 Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: April - August 23 you can’t access by car and need to walk at least 35mins
Fantastic experience: Lovely peaceful beach well worth a visit..
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach - definitely recommend doing a walk along the coast to the other little coves.
Fantastic experience: No doubt, One of the best beaches in Costa Brava.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful hidden spot. The views in this place is just breathtaking I was here for a day and now I feel like going back this summer.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Costa Brava. You cannot get there by car, it’s a 30 min walk from the closest parking. It’s a group of five calas, one of them is nudist. Some people camp here during the night. It’s a great spot for snorkeling, and very quiet. Totally recommended.
Fantastic experience: Secluded beach great for snorkeling, not ce walk through the pine forest to get there
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing, my favourite spot so far in Costa Brava. You have a few beaches with very few people. On this one, you can meet a nice guy named Quico who looks out for the beach. The guy is very open and can tell you a lot of stories. And you can play some guitar. Also, there are many wild cats there. The whole atmosphere was very hippie! I recommend to stay there for a night if you can.
Fantastic experience: This is the most beautiful beach I have ever been to in my life, the 30min hike there is amazing and takes you though amazing coastal forest , the hike is moderate but when you arrive at the clear water it will all be worth it.
Fantastic experience: Peace!!! Sweet beach and water sooo clear and clean
Fantastic experience: Yes, it is only accessible by walking. However worth the time you spend. Virgin coast, quiet waters, fishes all around you, clean water. Don't miss it!
Fantastic experience: BE AWARE that this is a nude beach. We loved it and actually didn’t mind going nude as well. The water is extremely clear (like many places along the Costa brava) and the bottom are extremely colorful.
Fantastic experience: An amazing place at the Mediterranean Sea. Surrounded only by the nature, the green pines and the lovely sound of the crashing waves.
Fantastic experience: One of my favorites in Costa brava
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve been to in Catalunya. As it’s a bit of a walk to get to it there’s not so many people and the sea is beautiful. There’s not bar around there so be sure to bring water and snacks
Positive experience: Nice beach, but very windy and the sea is not very clean. We came with a dog and there were others with a dog and no one has a problem with it. Long way to reach the beach, more than 30 minutes walking, but it's a nice walk.
Fantastic experience: Perfect to reach by kayak from the nearby rental in 40 minutes. Getting to the beach there are some stones to check out and avoid. Sea shoes could be helpful but are not necessarily needed. The beach does not have any service so make sure you take all you need with you, especially water.
Fantastic experience: This cala was such a surprise that in spite of me not feeling so well the day I visit it, I felt immediately happier !! It is w colony to many cats. They are just cruising around, playing by the water or sleeping in strange place as only cats can do! The casa is beautiful and divided into 2 beaches with some rocks on the water that you can walk on. If you don't like cats don't go! If you love them, like me, it's a must! Meow!
Fantastic experience: Espectacular views,nice weather and friendly people!
Fantastic experience: Maybe the most beautiful Cala of the Costa Brava!
