User reviews
"That place is small and secluded, tucked away in a bay-shaped area with no waves. It's usually quiet, with only a few locals from nearby houses visiting. There are no facilities, so make sure to come prepared with all the necessary items, such as a lifeguard, toilet, cafe, showers, and water."
Irina Yermakova
"This place is a small and charming cove, with a peaceful atmosphere. It is best to go early in the morning, around 11/12pm, as it starts to get more crowded after that. It is conveniently located 15 minutes from downtown Cadaqués and has a large free parking lot right in front. Easy to access, it's a great spot and we will definitely be back."

Platja de s'Alqueria (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 Platja de s'Alqueria (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 Platja de s'Alqueria for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
