Beach overall scores
Cala Bona (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the Urbanitzacio Giverola 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 correct question is not how to get to Cala Bona, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"After leaving Cala Pola, I stumbled upon a secluded cove beach while following the dirt track towards Tossa De Mar. I couldn't resist taking a dip in the crystal-clear water to refresh my entire body. I definitely suggest checking out this hidden gem of a beach if you have the chance."
Nathan Jenson
"This Cala is really lovely. To get there, you have to take a walk along the cliff, which offers some stunning views. The beach itself is quite sheltered, with no streams and easy to reach. The only downside is the boats, which tend to come too close to the small beach instead of keeping a safe distance of at least 50 or even 100 meters."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Cala Bona (Girona) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Bona (Girona) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Bona for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
