Spent 1 week on this beach in June and 1 week in October and have to say we love the beach yes it’s shingles and there’s a bank into the water and then a bit of a shelf in the water (so beware with little ones) but in places there is waves and they are so much fun tumbling you around we had such fun trying to get in and out of the water. Your bather, bikini or shorts will end up full of shingles if you get tumbled though. There’s a little ice cream hut at the end of beach towards Lloret end and the ice creams are lovely and reasonably priced too.

A small holiday resort and fishing village. Not comercialised like other Costa Brava resorts. There are no large hotels and mass turism. The town has some small hotels and few quality restaurants along with a lovely beach.
4. Plage de Sa Tuna

A beautiful bay with a few cafes and restaurants, worth a visit and stop out of season. The beach is also very clean and well kept. The downside is limited parking so in high season either walk or go to one of the other beautiful beaches in the area.
5. Cala Pola
6. La playa de Tamariu

7. Playa Cala Sa Boadella
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 372 reviews
The main attraction is the tranquility in only 250 meters. In this beach the traveler can see a pristine landscape. Cala Sa Boadella combines the charm and the crystal clear waters of the small beaches of the Costa Brava and the space of the widest beaches. Note: Authorized nudism.
