Cove of s'Alguer
Information
Cala s'Alguer is a picturesque and tranquil cove nestled among beautiful rocky landscapes. It is a small rocky beach, surrounded by charming old fishermen's houses, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and snorkeling. Visitors have praised its crystal clear waters and scenic views, particularly in the off-season when it is less crowded.
However, it is essential to note a few points before visiting:
- The beach is primarily made of stones, so water shoes are highly recommended for comfort.
- There are no bars or food services nearby, making it advisable to bring your own refreshments.
- It can get busy in peak seasons, so arriving early is suggested to fully enjoy the serenity.
- The access requires a short walk, with limited parking options available.
Despite these shortcomings, the unique charm of Cala s'Alguer and its breathtaking surroundings make it a must-visit destination on the Costa Brava.

Positive experience: It's definitely worth a visit... it's rocky... there's no bar or place to eat. The good thing is that you're 13 minutes away from a nearby parking. This place is unique. But at most, spend 3 hours and keep going because there are sandy beaches.
Fantastic experience: A very picturesque small fishing beach with a lot of charm. Pebble beach with easy access, just a few steps to go down. Ideal for snorkeling, as it is sheltered from the waves. However, the beach is small, so come early.
Fantastic experience: A different cove, you can reach it from Cala 'la fosca' or cala 'del castell', through an easily accessible coastal path. A unique place that gives you a sense of calm... a must-visit if you spend days nearby.
Fantastic experience: Lovely little cove near the large beach of Cala Fosca in Palamos... Depending on where you find a parking spot as it is a very busy location... The cove remains quite wild thanks to its beach of large pebbles and rocks... Snorkeling is recommended there... A must for lovers of visits.
Fantastic experience: Very pretty, accessible hiking trail with very beautiful landscapes

Fantastic experience: Simply amazing, although the GPS indicates that you can park closer, passage is prohibited, but you can park in the streets near the destination and then walk about 10 minutes... if you are going with a baby stroller you can access 'easily', on the way there are some pieces with a few steps (if you go accompanied it's better) and to enter the cove there are some stairs. Once down there is a 'flat' area where the houses are and if not within the beach there are rocks (bring shoes). I don’t know if dogs were allowed, but there were several outside the water for sure. We went around 11, there was a trip with children since there is a camping nearby, but after a while they left. The water was quite cold but the sea was very calm.
Positive experience: Beautiful Mediterranean cove. You have to get there on foot and dogs are not allowed. The beach is made of stones, wear water shoes if you want to get in. Camera on Route

Positive experience: Beautiful cove, after a short walk through the trees you arrive here.. beautiful view.... if you go further you reach a sandy beach.... anyway, it's a small place with stones.... I think it's used by fishermen, very unique and charming.. also being a lover of colors, seeing those used for the windows and doors is really something positive.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful cove, next to the Camí de Ronda, a place for fishermen and small houses. There is no sand, only stones, so you have to be careful where you step. In summer it can be somewhat crowded, especially with people looking to take good photos, but in the months of June or September, the weather is still nice and there are practically no people.
Positive experience: It's pretty but there are many stones
Fantastic experience: Spectacular views, 10 out of 10 snorkeling area, however, finding sand to lie down on is an impossible mission. 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: Spectacular cove in every way!!!!... It's a place with a lot of charm, it seems that time has stopped. Crystal clear and cool waters. The only thing is, if you want to swim, you need to bring special water shoes, as there are many stones. Beautiful place, totally recommended.
Fantastic experience: Very pretty, accessible hiking trail with very beautiful landscapes
Positive experience: The place is very cool for snorkeling, very clean, quiet, and beautiful. Be careful where you step when you go down because I slipped while trying to clean my feet and got a wound on my leg. Luckily, there was a really nice local man who offered me Betadine and a band-aid. He had his own first aid kit. I am very grateful to him.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, beautiful. Transparent waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Positive experience: Espectacular cala , haciendo snorkel vimos Estrellas de mar y diversidad. Hay un vecino fumando canutos toda la mañana con un olor muy bueno y lo complicado debe ser aparcar la toalla en agosto. No tiene arena.
Fantastic experience: Bellissima caletta con borgo di pescatori a ridosso. Le case vengono affittate per le vacanze e il bianco delle loro pareti contrasta con i vivaci colori degli infissi e il verde della vegetazione. In alta stagione in l'affluenza è contenuta, oltre agli occupanti delle abitazioni. Acqua pulita e fondale molto interessante e vivo: pesci, stelle marine, crostacei e alghe mediterranee di diverse tipologie. Bello il contesto. Da considerare la tipologia della spiaggia: quasi tutta in ciottoli di grandi dimensioni che impediscono di stendersi con l'asciugamano. Consiglio di recarsi sul posto di buon ora e di occupare la parte sinistra (fronte al mare), oppure di sistemarsi sul pianale di scorrimento in cemento per la messa in mare delle barche (oramai in disuso), a destra.
Fantastic experience: Un sitio espectacular enclavado en el corazón de la costa brava, este antiguo lugar de pescadores ahora patrimonio cultural y de la humanidad es en sí un mundo aparte. En su pequeña cala puedes hacer buceo y ver variedad de vida marina. Recomiendo hacer la visita desde la playa de la fosca por el camí de Ronda y llegar hasta la playa del castell.
Positive experience: Es la platgeta idilica que es mes ideal per fer-s'hi fotos que per banyar-s'hi. No es de sorra i tot son codols. Les casetes que hi han son molt bucoliques i estan pintadetes de diversos colors, quedant tot molt mariner. Es un indret a preservar de les pressions urbanistiques juntament amb Es Castell. Un caminet de ronda recorre aquestes platges per poder-les contemplar.

Fantastic experience: Lieu qui contraste avec la grande plage de Palamos. Beaucoup de charme. Succession de petites criques rocheuses. Prévoir des chaussons à cause des éventuels oursins. Ne pas oublier masque et tuba. Visite possible en kayak ou via le sentier côtier. Les enfants adorent sauter du haut des rochers

Fantastic experience: Authentic fishermen's cove with its beautifully decorated shacks in vivid colors, ideal for a great day of sun and sea. It's a shame about the overcrowding at this time of year, but still enjoyable. Don't forget protective footwear for your feet, as it's a rocky beach, not a sandy one. And leave the surroundings just as you found them. Let's practice responsible tourism!!!

Positive experience: Quite calm at least at the end of March. I suppose it will be hell in summer. The cove is a stony beach. There is no sand, so it's advisable to wear shoes to enter the water.
Fantastic experience: Lovely beach with its fishing cottages. The fewer people, the better to visit.
