Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Cativa (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 Cativa (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 Cativa 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.

Cala Cativa is a small beach located close to the town of Port de la Selva. It's so small that it can feel like the entire beach is filled with just five people! The water here is crystal clear and the blues and greens of the sea are stunning. If you're looking for a place to be alone and have some privacy, this is the perfect spot. Just be aware that you will have to take a tricky path of stones to get there, so take your time and watch your steps.

A great spot for a day out! It has crystal clear waters, soft white sand, and now gray fine pebbles too. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun.

I had a great time camping out on the rocks near a small beach. I spent the night there in my sleeping bag, which was a unique and enjoyable experience.

That place is an absolute paradise! With its crystal clear water and pristine white sand, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine. And now, with its public free entry, it's even more of an inviting destination!
