Beach overall scores
Cala Cap de Planes (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the Calella de Palafrugell 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, 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
"I have fond memories of this beautiful cove on the Costa Brava, which I have visited since I was a child. With its lush forests, winding trails, and scuba diving rigs, this is a place of incredible natural beauty that must be preserved. What's more, it is free to enter for the public, making it an ideal spot for a day out."
Gianni Salas Garcia
"The view was stunning, the beach was gorgeous, and snorkeling was a great experience. Just be aware that you might encounter some nudists."
