Positive experience: In August, it's difficult to park.
Fantastic experience: It is a cove that is mainly used as a dock, where boats can also be rented and there are sunbeds for rent since the cove is all cement and rocks. Dogs are no longer allowed, although if you go early in the morning there usually isn't a problem. There are restrooms. It is very beautiful and pleasant, and you access the water with a small staircase.
Positive experience: The water a little murky, with a slight smell of boat. But very few people. Paid parking, €3.
Fantastic experience: It has been a great success. Beautiful cove with few people which is much appreciated. With a beach bar to get drinks, which is important on these hot days. Crystal clear water, very calm and with a perfect water temperature to cool down.
Fantastic experience: Walking from Begur along the Cami vell to Sa Tuna and Aiguafreda is a very beautiful path, I recommend it.

Positive experience: The cove is very cool but it's made of rocks and asphalt. The water is a bit dirty due to the boat launches. The entry to the water is slippery. It's a cove for hiking and bathing and then leaving. I wouldn't recommend it for children because there is no sand to play on or where to be with them.
Positive experience: Très beau site, style calanques Ne pas avoir peur du monde.. Ne pas oublier des sandales de nage pour rentrer dans l'eau à cause des cailloux graviers
Positive experience: Una cala de roca sin playa de arena con todos los servicios,posibilidad de paseos por la costa y un txiringuito de lujo
Fantastic experience: Un sitio muy tranquilo una cala pequeña no es muy grande tampoco hay arena hay como una especie de pequeño muelle pero te puedes bañar y un chiringuito muy chulo al lado .. vale la pena conocer
Positive experience: Es la tercera cala top de la zona de Begur, luego de SanTuna y Sa Riera. Una opción, mi favorita, es acceder a ella por el caminito que bordea el mar, partiendo desde Sa Tuna. Dejas el coche allí y es resto a pie. El agua es calma y si bien no tiene plata de arena, se puede perfectamente hacer diving desde las rocas cercanas. Una piscina. Tiene un chiringuito decente por si quieres tomarte algo allí mismo.

Positive experience: Tout d'abord n'y allais pas pour vous y baigner c'est un port, l'eau est sale, plastique, carburant bateau...en surface pour une baignade privilégiez la Cala Sa tuna. Après c'est dommage car le cadre est beau pour une balade via un sentier de randonnée....sans oublier que le bord de la route servant de parking est payant 3 euro la journée...
Positive experience: Cala toda de piedra y bien acondicionada con chiringuito. Y con zona con sombrillas y hamacas. Hay duchas La zona sin hamacas está bastante bien, pero difícil poner una sombrilla. Bañarse es un poco peligroso debido a las tablas de surf que deambulan por la cala. No está mal.

Fantastic experience: Great bay for snorkeling. Very clear water.
Positive experience: Lovely place on the Costa Brava, but unfortunately I went in winter, so I couldn't fully enjoy it. Besides, there was a lot of wind. The views are nice and I suppose that in summer it is perfect for snorkeling or trekking.
Fantastic experience: Ideal para hacer un paseito llegando hasta sa tuba
Fantastic experience: Un entorno precioso, accesible y tranquilo, con un restaurante, unas mesas debajo de los pinos para tomar lo que tu lleves, aguas cristalinas, ideal para hacer snorkel
Negative experience: Hemos estado estos días, es más un embarcadero q una cala para q disfruten los bañistas, muy sucia el agua en la entrada por el embarcadero, ha llovido hace poco. Aparcar 3€ y hay poco sitio. Para hacer snorkel las hay muchísimo mejores es más yo no volveré, para hacer paseos por el entorno si q la recomendaría. Restaurantes muy muy caros. Saludos

Positive experience: Un sitio estupendo, algo difícil el acceso pero muy guay pasa pasar el día. Recomiendo escarpines y gafas de buceo

Tiene un chiringuito decente por si quieres tomarte algo allí mismo.
Fantastic experience: Divina. Sin masificación. La posibilidad de bañarse sin pisar arena, con una temperatura deliciosa de un agua clarísima; ideal para el buceo, con sombrillas y posibilidad de alquilar hamacas. El párking, a precio muy asequible. La terraza del bar completa las vistas. ¡Ojo con pisar erizos!
Positive experience: Bonito lugar para hacer buceo desde Costa. Depende de que temporada o momento del día puede resultar difícil o imposible aparcar.
Positive experience: Cala recóndita entre Begur y Pals, primera inmersión y bautizo de buceo en este singular fondo marino

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience
Fantastic experience: Privileged people!
Fantastic experience: Nice place to see
Fantastic experience: One of the prettiest beaches I've seen, a very long walk along the coast on foot, aiguablava-sa tuna sa riera
Fantastic experience: Walking from Begur along the Cami vell to Sa Tuna and Aiguafreda is a very beautiful path, I recommend it.
Fantastic experience: I came with my parents and brother 45 years ago. We used to dine at the tables that are still there. Well. I think they are not the same. I remember we drank water from the fountain. Now it's said to be non-potable. When I was younger, I had come with my wife. I remember it full of boats that almost didn’t let you swim. Fortunately, that has changed. It wasn't as well developed as it is now. It's one of the few coves that retains the charm it had before.
Fantastic experience: After a nice walk, we found this spectacular beach bar.
Fantastic experience: It's a small but charming beach, with cold and rough waters.
Positive experience: Lovely place on the Costa Brava, but unfortunately I went in winter, so I couldn't fully enjoy it. Besides, there was a lot of wind. The views are nice and I suppose that in summer it is perfect for snorkeling or trekking.
Fantastic experience: Everything is like a postcard
Positive experience: Small bay with clean water
Positive experience: Cove and boat area, it's nice for a walk but it's not a beach.
Positive experience: Nice dive site, great hostel, at La Rascasse. Good coffee spot. Tasty food.
Fantastic experience: A little piece of paradise 1 hour from Perpignan
Fantastic experience: Perfect for visiting in October when there is no one around. Good waves to watch from afar. We loved it. In summer it looks like you can't enter, the nearest parking only accommodates about 15 cars. You can walk from there to Sa Tuna without any problem along the path that goes along the coast, it's worth doing, it takes about 10-15 minutes.
Fantastic experience: Magnificent spot on the Costa Brava. Cala Sa Tuna and Cap Sa Sal society, also magnificent.
Fantastic experience: Ideal spot. Quiet and with clean water. Pebble and rock cove. If you arrive early in the morning, there’s parking for everyone (€3 per day).
Fantastic experience: An ideal place, great location, and good service
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place we found while walking the SL-C 23
Fantastic experience: I recommend it for taking photos and swimming for a while. Small
Fantastic experience: The Chiringuito here is great!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place for a leisurely lunch overlooking the bay and swimmers. Good food and reasonable prices..
Fantastic experience: Great little isolated beach side bar. Clean and new. Prices are ok. Good service.
Negative experience: Polluted, motorboats stationed starting 5 meters from the waterway. Artificial water access. Two stars because surroundings are still very pleasant, but if you're looking for a nice beach there are way better bays around
Negative experience: Cala Aiguafreda is a small Cala accesible through the trail around the coast of the Costa Brava. The whole Cala is used for boating. There are two terraces, one man-made, at each side where people go to sunbath and go to the water. There are vertical stairs, as in pools, in one of them. A chiringuito behind the beach offers tapas, bocadillos and drinks, with a beautiful scenery. As for going to the beach, there are more enjoyable Calas and Beaches really close. Around 3 hours before sundown the beach is completely in shadow.
Fantastic experience: I love to dive in this place. Actually there is not a dive center on. You must carry all you need
