Beach overall scores
Cala Fornells (Girona) region (Costa Brava sub-region) is located outside the el Port de la Selva 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 Fornells, 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
"This beach is alright. A decent spot to spend some time, but nothing special."
Heidi Fuyet
"Cala Fornells is quite a distance away from Port de la Selva, a 45-minute journey in fact. You have to traverse a winding, green route that runs through the mountains close to the town. While the walk may be pleasant, the beach itself is stunning. However, bear in mind that there is no Wi-Fi access here. Additionally, the beach is made up of stones, so take care when walking..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Cala Fornells (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 Cala Fornells (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 Cala Fornells 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.
