Platja de l'Illa Roja (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the Illa Roja 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 Platja de l'Illa Roja 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
"Definitely worth a visit - if you're into nude sunbathing, that is. It's not just for nudists - you'll find a mix of clothed and unclothed people. No one will judge you, whatever you decide. And there's a cool cliff where you can take a plunge into the crystal-clear water. Perfect for a refreshing dip!"
Alfonso Pérez
"That place is an ideal spot to take a break and unwind. It's not too busy, and the water is a beautiful turquoise hue. The scenery is breathtaking and it's truly like a little slice of heaven. Definitely worth the visit!"
