Beach overall scores
Gava Beach (Barcelona) region (Costa Daurada sub-region) is located outside the Gava settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Gava Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Gava Beach in Barcelona is nothing to write home about. It's nothing compared to Costa Brava, but if you're in a pinch and don't have time to drive further, it's a decent spot. It's got plenty of room, decent sand, showers that are passable, and a few decent cafes near the centre. All in all, it's not the beach of your dreams, but it's not the worst place to spend an afterno..."

"No matter what time of year, this beach is amazing. During the colder months, it's a great place for a leisurely stroll, and in the summer, it's the perfect spot for a day of fun with family and friends."
