Positive experience: Difficult access and no services for bathers. It's worth going to cross the bridge and visit the island, but not much more. The experience of trying to access the cove is more interesting than the end of the journey, to be honest.
Fantastic experience: Es Sortell Beach The beach has dark sand and quite a few stones with crystal clear water and very little depth, I loved it. Let's get to the important points: There is no lifeguard. There is no beach bar. There is very little space to leave towels, there are many rocks, especially when entering the water, some are slippery, water shoes are necessary. There is a beautiful sandbank that goes into the water, and a nice bridge that crosses to the island in front. It says it is private property when you reach the bridge, but everyone goes through there and they have the obligation to let you pass on foot. There is free parking available on the nearby streets, but not in abundance. It’s great for snorkeling since there are hardly any boats. Easy to reach. The beach is generally quiet. There are areas that practically look like a river and barely cover. 100% recommended if you want to know more detailed reviews in Girona, follow me.
Fantastic experience: Une des plages les plus sympa de Cadaquès. Un peu plus difficile d'accès que les autres, elle est de fait moins fréquentée par les touristes et par les familles avec poucette et bébés qui braillent et ça, ça n'a pas de prix. En plus il y a un peu de d'ombre en soirée.
Fantastic experience: Playa hermosa, con zonas de poca profundidad como mucha, bastante tranquila en comparación de las más céntricas. El viento un poco intenso pero solo eso. Para acceder hay que caminar por unas rocas, no lo recomendaría para niños ni adultos mayores.
Fantastic experience: C est magnifique. L accès n est pas facile. Quand il y a du vent il faut faire attention. Mais superbe vue sur Cadaqués.

Fantastic experience: Pebble beach, very shallow, where you have to enter the water with sandals, but it's worth it. Sheltered from the south wind, it always has very little wave action, as it is facing away from the sea. The sunset light is impressive, bathing the beach and painting the rocks in the characteristic reddish color of the golden hour. It has no services, but because it is so 'wild', it might be worth making a visit.

Fantastic experience: Una playita alejada de todo el pueblo con una pequeña isla al frente que puedes visitar pasando un puente. Esta bien si quieres estar tranquilo
Positive experience: Muy bonita pero hay piedras
Fantastic experience: Llegamos a esta playa pasando el día en Cadaqués, un sitio mágico con un puente que da acceso a un islote. Playa de piedras, pero que es realmente cómoda, puedes ir prácticamente haciendo pie de una cala a otra, ideal para los niños y tienes una vista general de toda la ciudad. Nosotros aprovechamos algún árbol que hay cerca para aprovechar su sombra. El acceso en algunos tramos es por piedras, no recomendable para personas de movilidad reducida, al menos por donde nosotros fuimos

Fantastic experience: Un lugar precioso! Lo único malo son los horarios para comer, los restaurantes que están abiertos todo el tiempo son costosos y la comida no es tan buena

Fantastic experience: Beautiful village Beautiful beach Beautiful view
Fantastic experience: Small beaches, mostly coves scattered throughout Cadaqués, most of them closed by rocks and with a rocky bottom, so you have to bring water shoes. Crystal clear waters and fantastic views of a movie-like environment.
Fantastic experience: Pebble beach, very shallow, where you have to enter the water with sandals, but it's worth it. Sheltered from the south wind, it always has very little wave action, as it is facing away from the sea. The sunset light is impressive, bathing the beach and painting the rocks in the characteristic reddish color of the golden hour. It has no services, but because it is so 'wild', it might be worth making a visit.
Fantastic experience: Amazing cove, with transparent waters, extraordinary surroundings and great views. Ideal for going with children, due to its shallow initial depth.
Fantastic experience: Walking around the coastline here is beautiful in every season. Here are some snapshots from a walk in January 2024, from the town to Platja des Sortell and further.

Fantastic experience: Great beach, and just 5 minute walk from the very busy main beach.
