Guide
Good to know
Go for clear water and snorkeling
Crystal-clear water and rocky areas make this cove excellent for snorkeling and underwater viewing.
Visit on weekday afternoons
Reviewers report only a handful of other groups present on Monday in late July.
Wear water shoes or reef boots
The rocky bottom includes sharp rocks that caused cuts even through shoes, requiring first aid treatment after swimming.
Plan for a 45-minute walk
Access requires hiking from Calella de Palafrugell with significant elevation changes on a wide path.
Bring only essentials for the hike
Limited accessibility means carrying everything you need, as there are no facilities nearby.
