Beach overall scores
Cala Donzell (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the l'Escala 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 Donzell, 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
"A paradise of tranquility, with a stunning walk through trees, cliffs, and the sea, all framed by majestic mountains."
Nestor Ucelay
"This once serene cove has been marred by the addition to Google Maps. What was once a tranquil oasis, now teems with the hustle and bustle of tourists. The peace it once provided has been replaced with the clamour of vacationers."
