Cove of the Cry

Negative experience: You have to walk 20 minutes to get from the parking lot. It's not much, but doing it at 30 degrees in summer with a lot of uphill... Once you get there, the cove is beautiful, to be honest. However, it is important to consider that it is a stony cove, so you will injure your feet when entering the water. Besides that, the water was quite dirty (there were many boats anchoring and their waste reaches the shore). I recommend bringing snorkeling goggles, since once you get into the water, you have to swim a lot to avoid touching, and while passing through all the rocks, there are many sea urchins.

Fantastic experience: It's a very quiet place. You're sitting on a fallen tree or on a stone, looking at the sea, no one bothers you, hardly anyone passes by, no one asks you anything, no one tries to sell you anything. If you want a moment of mental peace and without stress, it's a very good spot. The tricky part is getting to this point on the path; you need to be a little fit and enjoy walking, but it's not a very long or complicated trail. My mother, who is almost 64 years old, walked with me, my sister, and my sister's husband, and we all got there without any problems, so I think with a little effort, everyone can reach this goal. I recommend bringing some water and some food to continue the journey.

Fantastic experience: Small beach with coarse sand and pebbles. In summer there is a beach bar. Costa Brava in its pure state... Access is a bit difficult.

Positive experience: A very beautiful cove. Access should be improved, it is a bit deteriorated.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, great for enjoying with a partner, difficult access

Fantastic experience: Super beach, small, not crowded that morning, crystal clear water, perfect for snorkeling. The coarse sand, pebbles right at the entrance to the water don't spoil anything, especially if you have suitable shoes. Okay, you have to walk 25 minutes on rough terrain from Roig's garden, but it's worth it!

Positive experience: Cove with coarse sand and rocky bottom, wear water shoes for your feet, better to come from Cala Estreta, as going down from Cap Roig is very steep.

Fantastic experience: Stones and quite coarse sand. Very quiet and clean. Nice hike through the pine forest to get there. But there is also no other way.

Positive experience: Excellent cove to relax and enjoy the spot and the crystal clear waters. It is ideal for walking from Calella or reaching it by bicycle.

Positive experience: Paesaggio bellissimo, da incorniciare e acqua cristallina color verde. Si può arrivare con un sentiero dalla Platja de Castel (Palamos) dove c'è un parcheggio a pagamento (non sono partito da lì ma credo che sarebbero circa 40 minuti a piedi). La zona è molto particolare, un area boschiva protetta fuori dal caos delle spiagge cittadine caratterizzata da diverse calette in cui è possibile scendere dal sentiero principale. Per raggiungere la Cala del Crit, bisogna proseguire dritto risalendo la strada sterrata, fino a raggiungere un crocicchio segnalato con cartelli indicatori. Venendo dalla spiaggia del Castel de Palamos in cima alla salita si dovrà prendere il primo sentiero sulla destra e scendere per una decina di minuti (attenzione soprattutto per chi ha dei bambini, all'ultimo pezzo con gradini ma ripido! Il motivo per cui non metto le 5 stelle è la presenza invasiva delle rocce fin da riva. La spiaggia in sé presenta una formazione sabbiosa con una parte di granelli più fini, misti ad una con grana più grossa. L'estensione per il lungo è veramente ridotta, ma in definitiva questo non determina un eccessivo affollamento. Proseguendo a sinistra - la sinistra di chi scende verso il mare dalla collina sovrastante, si puo' raggiungere la caletta successiva (Calà Des Vedell), sia a nuoto superando un bellissimo stretto, sia valicando un " sentiero di rocce " non sicurissimo. Sul versante opposto della spiaggia invece (sulla destra), si vedono a mezzacosta, sul lato che risale la collina, dei gradini che portano sul promontorio. Probabilmente consentono di raggiungere le tre cale collegate tra loro ( Cala Cap d'en Planes - Cala Bona / Cala de la Cadena e la "famosa" Cala Estreta). Cale molto belle e che consiglio sicuramente!

Fantastic experience: Only went to the beach on a kayak. But what a beautiful place.
