Wear water shoes or rock boots
The beach is almost entirely rocky with sharp stones, making proper footwear essential for comfortable entry and movement.
Avoid midday if privacy matters
The beach attracts nudists, some of whom have been described as aggressive; reviewers suggest being aware or choosing quieter times.
Plan a 20-minute walk from transit
Bus 22 to Parc del Cabo is accessible, though the descent to the beach involves a steep rocky slope.

Does Cala Cantalar have restrooms?
