Latest reviews on l'Escala's beaches

Portitxol Beach
8 Aria Z W

This beach is a peaceful and beautiful spot with a few sandy beaches, a restaurant, and a couple of bars. Parking costs 1.50 euros per hour, but you can park for free in the residential area just a 10-minute walk away.

Grau beach
6 Danielle Sewell

This location is a great choice for those looking for a peaceful and unspoilt stretch of coastline. On the Saturday morning we visited in August, it was very quiet. The beach has golden sand and the sea shelves quickly near the shore. There is a beach bar in the middle, but not many other amenities that we could see. However, there are plenty of restaurants and shops a few minutes away. Parking is also very easy, with free parking 5 minutes away or lots of paid parking close to the beach. We highly recommend it if you're looking for a nice sandy beach.

Fonollera Beach
8 Maria Isabela Gonzales Rivera.

The perfect spot for a getaway! The sand is thick and the water is so clean you can see right through it. We had a great time at the Siroco chiringuito, where the Italian chef served up some of the best pasta we've ever had. The squid and mussels were so fresh and tasty, it was hard to resist. Highly recommended!

Cala Montgo
8 Hassan Atif

This place is definitely one of the best I've seen in Spain - easy to get to and with no need to embellish it.

Platja de Can Martinet

This spot is stunningly clean, with golden fine sand that makes it even more inviting.

A vast stretch of golden sand, with a lengthy and delightful boardwalk giving off a delightful blend of fragrances. Unfortunately, no four-legged friends allowed.
