Positive experience: Parking nearby. You need to go early to find a spot.
Positive experience: The times I have been there it has been crowded with people. Sandy cove with free parking.
Positive experience: There is parking available without problems, even for motorhomes; it's a pity that there are no showers.
Positive experience: It's a very beautiful cove, from which you can see the Castle of San Jorge. On the other side, you also have the cove of San Jorge. From the castle, you have stunning views for photos. The cove is small and fills up very quickly, so bring water shoes as there are stones and crystal clear waters. There's free parking.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to spend the day, accessible to everyone, areas for jumping, areas for diving, and for snorkeling as well. Crowded in summer but well, that's the case for all the beaches in the area...

Fantastic experience: Fine sand beach. And for that reason, very crowded. Beautiful, recommended.
Fantastic experience: Easy access by car to the cove, I loved the color and temperature of the water and that it is sandy, there is a lack of a beach bar but the cove next to it does have one and it is very close, there were quite a few people since it was Saturday, but it was wonderful, I will return there.
Positive experience: Very beautiful cove, the water is very clear and the sand is super fine. It is not very big so it gets quite crowded, but on a weekday in August there was always some space to settle. There is plenty of parking right above and it is free. The only downside is that the water was full of seaweed, which makes swimming not entirely pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove!!! Crystal clear waters, spectacular colors, and very cool. If you intend to spend the day, you should go for a picnic, as there are no beach bars. Recommended.
Positive experience: Very close to Cala San Jordi. The only difference is that there is no beach bar here. Other than that, both coves are great for their easy access (you can park almost right by the beach), they have fine sand, the water is calm, and the atmosphere has been very family-friendly.
Fantastic experience: Es una preciosidad. Muy pequeña pero conectada por caminos entre pinos con otras calas. Las vistas son geniales. No tiene chiringuito.
Positive experience: Una bonita cala, para salir en familia o amigos, hay una parte donde hay unas rocas que se puede hacer saltos y clavados, está bien para el snorkel , hay un chiringuito, pero el que me atendió tenía su día

Positive experience: The water was very clean and we really liked the beach. Unfortunately, the beach is very small. But absolutely recommended outside the season.
Fantastic experience: A cove with a name meaning transparent water like glass, perfect for snorkeling.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday the wind was from the sea, so there were a lot of waves and the water was not clear. But it's a cove that is worth visiting, of course. Already visited with clear water, it’s really beautiful and quite a few fish to see with a mask and snorkel.
Fantastic experience: Quiet cove to go with children, with transparent water and a lot of visibility for diving.

Fantastic experience: Platja de sorra, no gaire gran però tampoc molt concorreguda. Té dutxes per treure’s la sorra i la sal. És bonica per anar a fer una mica d’snorkel o paddle surf i tb per anarhi amb criatures. A partir de les 12-13h l’aigua s’enterboleix a causa de les cremes que es posa la gent.
Fantastic experience: Una cala muy bonita con un agua cristalina y muy limpia, ideal para ir con peques ya que no cubre, eso sí es pequeña por lo que se llena enseguida y tiene bar, alquiler de patines con tobogán, tablas de surf de plástico y puesto de socorro de la cruz roja.
Fantastic experience: Preciosas calas de piedras y arena ,aguas turquesas y superlimpias ideal para buceo o padelsurf

Positive experience: Nice cove where you can do some snorkeling.

Fantastic experience: La del mig de les famoses “tres cales” entre l’Atmella de Mar i Calafat (amb Cala Forn al sud i Cala Sant Jordi al nord), es poden fer les tres caminant per un caminet a ran de mar. Per mi la millor de les tres, és la més petita, no té xiringuito (com costa dir guingeta) però això la fa més tranquila que les seves dues germanes grans. Té dutxes i aparcament, i una divertida zona de capbussades des de les roques. Aigues netes i transparents, com el nom de la cala suggereix
Fantastic experience: Es una de kas playas mas paradisiacas de toda catalunya, es increible la fauna submarina que se encuentra, como fan del buceo para mi es espectacular, el mejor recorrido para ver el fondo marino es desde cala vidre hasta cala sant jordi
Fantastic experience: Nos encantó por sus aguas cristalinas y la gente que había: ¡muy familiar! Fuimos sólo una vez, en verano a su máximo esplendor. El agua super refrescante y la arena suave, sí hay que cuidar porque es un poco honda para los chicos. Por lo que vimos es genial para buceo!
Fantastic experience: Inmersión de Buceo, espectacular. Recordatorio, en verano no está permitido pesca, buceadores enganchados con anzuelo y enredados con el sedal
Fantastic experience: Una cala espectacular!! Es muy pequeñita pero el agua es cristalina y calmada, además tiene duchas de pies y duchas para el cuerpo, arena fina y blanca, increíble! Paraíso de buceadores porque vimos bastantes el rato que estuvimos allí. De fácil acceso en coche y muy cerquita, al otro lado del aparcamiento, hay otra cala con chiringuito por si apetece algo fresquito. Fantástica!
