Beach overall scores
Platja Gran de Culip (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the Port Lligat 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
"Take a hike from Port Lligat, traverse the old path to Cap de Creus and before you reach the beacon, take the GR to the left towards Playa de Culip. After 2 hours of walking with breathtaking views, take a dip in a little oasis. Follow the path behind the shack, and you'll find the rocks that inspired some of Dali's artwork."
Marianne
"An ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. The cove is gorgeous and a brief 10-minute walk from the road. Unfortunately, there is a fisherman's hut that has been set up, and the access road to the cove is constantly littered with rubbish, toilet paper and tissues, detracting from the beauty of the area. To make matters worse, there is a polyclinic just 2 minutes away."

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 Gran de Culip (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 Gran de Culip for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
