User reviews
"Beautiful, with bright blue water and lots of fish to see - it's really a nice spot. The surrounding area is also impressive. Unfortunately, the paid parking spots fill up quickly, and while there are free parking lots on the street, accessing them can be a bit of a hassle. Fortunately, the beach is easy to access, making it an ideal destination for a day trip."

"Cala is a beautiful beach with great amenities and a lifeguard on duty. I saw a restaurant and kayak/small boat rentals too. There's also a lovely walk around the bay. It's not too big, but it was easy to find a spot and not too crowded when I was there. What's more, it's easily accessible."
