Discover Cala Sa Boadella in Lloret de Mar. A unique experience to explore its history and significance.
Cala Sa Boadella is a public beach, so it does not have a closing time. You can reach it on foot from the Santa Clotilde Gardens by following a path. If you come by car, there is nearby parking, although it can be quite busy in high season. Please note that there is no direct car access to the sand.
Good news! Access to Cala Sa Boadella is completely free, as it is a public beach. The only thing you might need to pay for is parking if you choose a paid car park or, of course, if you buy something at the beach bar that usually operates in summer.
To fully enjoy Cala Sa Boadella, I would recommend setting aside at least half a day, around 3 to 4 hours. This will give you enough time to relax on the sand, enjoy a swim, explore the rocks and small coves, and perhaps have a picnic or take in the views. If you enjoy snorkeling, you will probably want even more time.
Cala Sa Boadella is much more than just a beach. It is one of the last unspoiled natural beaches in Lloret de Mar, preserving a rugged, wild charm that evokes what the Costa Brava was like before mass tourism. Its beauty lies in its natural state and the peace it offers, a true oasis. It does not have monumental historical landmarks, but its value lies in its conservation.
To avoid the crowds, the best time to visit Cala Sa Boadella is outside the high season, especially July and August. May, June, September, and early October offer excellent weather and much more peace and quiet. During the day, try to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to enjoy a calmer atmosphere and the best sunlight.
Unfortunately, access to Cala Sa Boadella is not ideal for people with reduced mobility or baby strollers. The final stretch down to the sand includes a path and some steps that are not adapted. It is a beach with a more natural access route and is therefore less prepared for wheelchairs or strollers. I suggest looking into other accessible beaches in Lloret de Mar if this applies to you.
Absolutely! Right next to Cala Sa Boadella you have the stunning Santa Clotilde Gardens, a true Renaissance treasure with spectacular sea views. You can also head up to the Hermitage of Santa Cristina, a charming spot with panoramic views. Both are excellent options to complement your beach day.
Of course! I recommend bringing your own drinks and something to snack on, as the beach bar is not always open and can be more expensive. Wear comfortable shoes for the access path and, if you plan to snorkel, do not forget your mask and snorkel. Most importantly, respect the environment. It is an unspoiled beach, so please help keep it that way. Do not leave any rubbish behind, and if you can, bring your own bag for your waste.
