Fantastic experience: Easy access place, you can see the sunset and it has coarse sand, which is ideal. It is true that it is a bit small for 20 people.
Positive experience: One of my favorites in Barcelona. Although it is getting more and more crowded, despite its difficult access. No services.
Positive experience: Nice beach...although small parking and a few jellyfish
Fantastic experience: Very cool cove, quiet, there's always space, not very crowded, difficult to park.

Fantastic experience: Divine place!!! Smoking, fishing, and bringing dogs are not allowed… obviously everyone smokes and brings their dogs… anyway, it is a wonderful place where parking is difficult, but it's worth it. There are no services.
Fantastic experience: Está estupenda pero en Septiembre que es cuando estuve no había mucha arena y como en todas las playas de Calella hasta Octubre no permiten perros . Es muy característico ver a los Cormoranes que son espécie protegida a muy pocos metros sobre la Roca Grosa .

Fantastic experience: Easy access place, you can see the sunset and it has coarse sand, which is ideal. It is true that it is a bit small for 20 people.
Fantastic experience: The beach is spectacular, there are no stones on the shore, the water is clear, very comfortable for swimming as you wish. Bring your umbrellas or parasols and something to drink. The scenery is nice and the beach is very clean.
Positive experience: The cove itself is nice, clean water and a beautiful and picturesque place, hard to park even for motorcycles, no services, no restrooms, no beach bar, no showers, people are very dirty, the beach is full of trash of all kinds, they don't use the bins and leave it on the sand, they should be ashamed not to respect a place like this, there is also no respect for personal space, they arrive late and practically sit on your towel, very rude in general with no respect, mostly foreigners, Germans and French.
Positive experience: Not bad, coarse sand instead of fine, clear water.
Positive experience: A beautiful cove, with good weather we usually sunbathe here, a nudist area that used to connect with the textile area on the camping exit side, this year during our first visit, it made us very sad, ok the cove is still as beautiful but it no longer connects between the two beaches, I hope they add sand.

Positive experience: Great toilet facilities at the restaurant and sun loungers.
Positive experience: It's a very nice cove, unfortunately, like in other beaches, there is overcrowding. The negative aspect is that the beach bar that was there is closed.
Positive experience: The stars go to the cove, the landscape is nice although there are quite a few people even during the week. The beach bar leaves a bit to be desired...

Fantastic experience: Excellent beach with crystal clear waters, snorkeling can be done even though there isn't much variety of fish. Access to the beach can be tricky for very large people or those with reduced mobility. Keep in mind: There is no lifeguard, bar, or showers or restrooms. The beach is generally clean, family-friendly, and on weekdays it doesn't get too crowded, but keep in mind that it's small.
Fantastic experience: Limpia, comoda y preciosa. Duchas, chiri. Guitos, salvavidas, etc....
Fantastic experience: Muy bonita,arena un poco gruesa y agua limpia,no hay bares ni servicio de socorristas, el acceso esta bien pero para aparcar muy mal

Positive experience: Beautiful cove, you can see a bit of the bottom but if you like to snorkel I don't recommend it much, it is very crowded. Access if you come by car is easier, you just have to find a parking spot as there is not much. Walking is a bit of a walk from the train station. But it's worth it!
Fantastic experience: Perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There is some infrastructure on the campsite behind the road.
Positive experience: Good place to sit. It is quite sheltered and is great for swimming and snorkeling. Lots of fish to see.

Positive experience: Very beautiful beach where nudism has been practiced for over 25 years, although it seems to be declining, I don't know if it's because of the pictures that can be taken with cell phones.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant beach! We went there at the end of October and we enjoyed perfect weather. I do recommend stopping for a short or long stay.
Fantastic experience: Very nice views

Positive experience: Beautiful
Fantastic experience: Easy access place, you can see the sunset and it has coarse sand, which is ideal. It is true that it is a bit small for 20 people.
Fantastic experience: For me, the Costa Brava has always started here, with some beautiful coves up to Calella, with wonderful water and naturist coves. A beautiful place in the upper Maresme.
Fantastic experience: beautiful beach with clear water & great atmosphere. a little crowded - get there before 11 o'clock if you want a chilled place. definetly worth a visit!
Negative experience: The place should be limited, as it is small and at certain times you are very crowded.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Lovely cove, you have to go very early to enjoy it, it gets really crowded but right next to it there's a beach that was very empty and you can easily walk to the cove.
Fantastic experience: Very good! Abundant parking and not many people at the cove, it was a Tuesday in August...
Fantastic experience: Nude beach, very peaceful, especially in the morning to see the sunrise.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach
Positive experience: Very beautiful and crystal clear waters
Fantastic experience: Perfect beach for tranquility and a good swim
Positive experience: One of my favorites in Barcelona. Although it is getting more and more crowded, despite its difficult access. No services.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful little beach to enjoy and connect.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove, clear water and few people
Positive experience: Beautiful cove but difficult to access and hard to park.
Negative experience: Too crowded, hard to park, and a lot of uncivilized people leaving trash and blasting music.
Positive experience: The cove is nice, but the only flaw is that it's very deep. But everything is clean, not a single Coke can or anything like that on the ground...
Fantastic experience: The beach is spectacular, there are no stones on the shore, the water is clear, very comfortable for swimming as you wish. Bring your umbrellas or parasols and something to drink. The scenery is nice and the beach is very clean.
Fantastic experience: The beach is quite nice for spending time with family, the only downside is that it gets quite crowded on Sundays.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, one of the prettiest beaches in Caleia!!! But we couldn't enjoy it because there were too many people with loud music, who unfortunately left a lot of trash.
Positive experience: The cove itself is nice, clean water and a beautiful and picturesque place, hard to park even for motorcycles, no services, no restrooms, no beach bar, no showers, people are very dirty, the beach is full of trash of all kinds, they don't use the bins and leave it on the sand, they should be ashamed not to respect a place like this, there is also no respect for personal space, they arrive late and practically sit on your towel, very rude in general with no respect, mostly foreigners, Germans and French.
Positive experience: It's a place that is very nice, but I don't know if it's Epic. When I visited the place, there were almost no people, I imagine that if it gets crowded it must be a bit uncomfortable. It has a small parking lot and a large staircase to go down and of course then, to go up. So I recommend being very light.
Fantastic experience: Beauuutiful
Positive experience: Many camp there. They leave it with trash... anyway...
Fantastic experience: An amazing place! But there are already some trash in the cliff, that is sad
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove, crystal clear waters. Access is via stairs.
Negative experience: It's impossible to park, there are too many people and depending on where you park, you'll get fined. It's an average beach.

Fantastic experience: Divine place!!! Smoking, fishing, and bringing dogs are not allowed… obviously everyone smokes and brings their dogs… anyway, it is a wonderful place where parking is difficult, but it's worth it. There are no services.
Positive experience: This beach is nudist but it is full of people in clothes. I find it very unfair that when we go to a textile beach and we undress, there is always someone who calls your attention, why is it not respected when it is the other way around? The beach is beautiful and it feels great.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful coastline, there are several access points that lead down to the beach. These are the best beaches in the area...
Fantastic experience: This beach is very beautiful… it is a nudist beach and it is very quiet
Fantastic experience: Excellent!! A calm and beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Nice beach, early August and with space to park and set up an umbrella, very clear water and not much wave action.
Positive experience: Beautiful cove, you can see a bit of the bottom but if you like to snorkel I don't recommend it much, it is very crowded. Access if you come by car is easier, you just have to find a parking spot as there is not much. Walking is a bit of a walk from the train station. But it's worth it!
Fantastic experience: Unexpected, the coves are beautiful!
Fantastic experience: Awesome water, turquoise color, transparent and super clean
Positive experience: Great toilet facilities at the restaurant and sun loungers.
Fantastic experience: A very beautiful and quiet beach!
Positive experience: Spectacular.. if in transit, it deserves a stop for a swim
Positive experience: Nice but not that special... little parking.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach, you need to go early to get spots
Fantastic experience: Perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There is some infrastructure on the campsite behind the road.
Positive experience: I give it a 3 because although it is a beautiful beach, it tends to be overcrowded. It is advisable to visit during times of less tourism.
Fantastic experience: The beach is beautiful, but there is no shade. The views are enchanting. It is not suitable for people with disabilities to go down the stairs.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful cove
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove. Bad for parking.
Positive experience: Nudist beach, calm atmosphere but filled with peeping toms hidden among the vegetation.
Negative experience: It's not what it used to be, no showers, no sink, no place for water, we're not getting better, no, no.
Positive experience: This beach has lost a lot since last year, like many of our beaches, the sea has risen a lot, leaving little beach to sit down.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful cove with crystal clear waters. A bit crowded during the peak summer months.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, the people in the village are very kind and the place has magic. I loved getting to know it. I give it 5 stars.
Positive experience: It's a very nice cove, unfortunately, like in other beaches, there is overcrowding. The negative aspect is that the beach bar that was there is closed.
Fantastic experience: Super beautiful and easily accessible, great if you go by public transport. The only downside is that it is too crowded.
Positive experience: The place is small, but very beautiful, easy to reach whether by car or public transport.
Fantastic experience: One of the most relaxing secret coves in the area....
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove to enjoy a day at the beach. Recommended to go during the week if possible.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, during the season like all the coves a bit crowded, but if you go early you can enjoy it a lot
Fantastic experience: Beach very close to Calella, a good space to enjoy with family. Waves a bit strong. Beautiful view, there are also hotels and hostels for a stroll or weekend rest. There is good public transport, you can get there by train (Renfe R1). In Sant, Hospitalet. Works very well.
Positive experience: For me, one of the best coves, although as its name 'cala' suggests, it is small but its waters are crystal clear. The downside is the parking.
Fantastic experience: Very pretty place. The water was clean and the setting is just magical. I wish there were less people, I was there on a Monday, it was surprisingly busy. The day I visited the beach was full of kids and teenagers, it was very loud, maybe fun for most, but I found the beach next to this one way more peaceful. So it's easy to move from one to another and decide what is a better fit, bear in mind the one on the other side is a nudist cove.
Fantastic experience: The cove is beautiful! The only thing is that we found a jellyfish in the sea and we couldn't go back into the water anymore, but other than that, it has beautiful views, the water is clear and clean, and the beach is also very clean.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove in Sant Pol de Mar, although the recent storms have washed away a good part of the sand, it remains a paradise with very good views.
Positive experience: Beautiful but too many people
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place with parking, crystal clear waters
Fantastic experience: A very quiet cove!!
Positive experience: The stars go to the cove, the landscape is nice although there are quite a few people even during the week. The beach bar leaves a bit to be desired...
Fantastic experience: Very nice cove
Fantastic experience: Very pretty cove
Fantastic experience: Let's see... There is no ugly cove from Arenys to Malgrat de Mar... wherever you go down to these beaches, the views will be magnificent, the water is almost the same...
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach
Positive experience: Cove with crystal clear waters, beautiful. There are quite a few people and parking is difficult.
Fantastic experience: Wonderfully beautiful and well maintained. Camping on high rocks. Good service. Good parking facilities. Definitely a recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Awesome little cove! Parking is free and located right off the side of the main road. There is a large stairway down to the actual cove (at least 50 stairs) so not accessible for mobility impaired people. Also there is a nude cove directly next to this so….fair warning.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful nook between Sant Pol and Calella, ideal for a refreshing swim and for a nice walk with magnificent views of the coast.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place.
Fantastic experience: Very nice and quiet place. Cheap, clean with helpful and friendly service. I recommend.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful to go on a sunny day
Fantastic experience: A must-visit place. I recommend going at sunset; if you're lucky and there are clouds, it creates this magical effect in the sky. The colors are somewhat surreal.
Positive experience: A beautiful cove, with good weather we usually sunbathe here, a nudist area that used to connect with the textile area on the camping exit side, this year during our first visit, it made us very sad, ok the cove is still as beautiful but it no longer connects between the two beaches, I hope they add sand.
Fantastic experience: Quiet and very beautiful
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful cove
