Information

Cala del Cau is a stunningly beautiful and secluded spot located amidst cliffs and lush vegetation, making it an ideal choice for those seeking peace and tranquility away from the crowds.

  • Highlights:
  • Clear, inviting waters that are perfect for swimming.
  • Secluded atmosphere, often with very few visitors.
  • A picturesque environment with natural beauty.

However, getting to the beach can be quite challenging. Most reviews mention:

  • Access is steep and rocky, requiring some walking, which can be difficult for some guests, particularly those with pets.
  • The beach consists of large pebbles, making it less comfortable for sunbathing.
  • Occasional presence of jellyfish and algal growth near the water can be concerning.

In conclusion, while Cala del Cau offers a beautiful natural escape, be prepared for its accessibility challenges and rocky beach conditions.

Negative experience: Difícil acceso. Lleno de gente e imposible estirarse ya que no hay arena y son todo rocas. El agua sucia por la cantidad de barcos que hay y sin escarpines ni te puedes meter sin rajarte un pie

Fantastic experience: El acceso es empinado y mejor con bambas en la cala hay que ir con escorpines todo lleno de piedras difíciles acceso agua muy clara

Positive experience: Muy bonita pero el acceso es horrible. Personalmente no me gustan mucho las calas de piedras porque no te puedes sentar, pero el sitio hay que decir que tiene algo especial❤️

Positive experience: Small rocky cove, solitary, with a somewhat laborious access, interesting to visit without crowds, nestled between lateral cliffs and vegetation

Positive experience: The cove is very quiet, it takes a while to get there, to be honest. The descent is quite a challenge and then climbing back up is also difficult; the path is not marked and you have to navigate a bit by instinct. We went with our dog. I don't recommend it for dogs. There are many rocks of all sizes and they are very slippery; if your furry friend swims and has wet paws, they can get hurt badly. The good thing is, we were alone.

Fantastic experience: Situada bajo un acantilado y de accezo peatonal exigente... (desnivel medio-alto). Cala de piedras grandes dificil d acceder al mar ya que rescalas. Puedes ir con perro aunque las piedras no son buenas para sus patas.

Positive experience: Espectacular playa de arena gruesa. Dividida en dos por una isla, está playa está limitada por las paredes de los acantilados típicos de la Costa Brava. Es una playa semi nudista, con duchas, chiringuitos y de fácil acceso. Totalmente recomendable.

Fantastic experience: Awesome secluded beach next to the El Far hotel and restaurant. Near means abut 1.6km or 1 mile. But it will take you an hour to get there following the hiking trail on the side of the steeps cliffs. The beach overlooks a small bay. It gets deep pretty fast. Be careful when getting in and out as the waves may push you into the cobblestones the make up the beach.

Fantastic experience: Cala de difícil acceso, solo a pie o por mar, y por eso mismo, tranquila y con un agua espectacularmente limpia. No tiene duchas ni W.C ni chiringuito ni nada. Solo el mar y tú.

Negative experience: En el lado negativo: Un infierno para bajar. Playa de piedras llenas de algas (resbaladizas), por lo que es muy difícil entrar y salir, y además el día que estuve, había medusas en el agua. En el lado positivo, la temperatura del agua era agradable al no haber corriente, y estaba cristalina, y no había casi nadie.

Positive experience: Con piedras, sin sombra, pero agua limpia, zona de saltar central (roca), poca gente y difícil acceso si no sabes camino, aunque bien de parking

Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove! You just have to walk a few meters, but then you're partly alone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing private beach. Easier to reach it with boat, tracking from the parking was challenging. U have to walk by the forest
