Cala Pola: Discover a Secluded Paradise on the Costa Brava Guide
Escape the crowds and discover the tranquil beauty of Cala Pola, a picturesque cove located just a short distance from Tossa de Mar. This charming beach offers a more intimate and secluded experience compared to the larger Platja Gran. With its crystal-clear waters, rocky cliffs, and lush vegetation, Cala Pola is a true hidden gem of the Costa Brava. While Cala Pola doesn't have a long or particularly documented history like Vila Vella, its natural beauty has always been appreciated by locals and visitors alike. Its sheltered location has made it a popular spot for swimming and relaxation for generations. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular with tourists seeking a more peaceful and authentic beach experience. Cala Pola offers a variety of activities for those seeking relaxation and adventure. Swimming and sunbathing are, of course, the main draws. The clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, allowing you to explore the underwater world. A campsite is located nearby, making it a great option for those who want to spend more time immersed in nature. There's also a restaurant on the beach serving delicious Mediterranean cuisine. While Tossa de Mar is known for "cim i tomba," the restaurant at Cala Pola offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes that are worth trying.
Transportation
Cala Pola is accessible by car, with parking available nearby (though it can get crowded in peak season). You can also reach Cala Pola by taking a boat trip from Tossa de Mar. A local bus also serves the area. Look for the bus that goes towards Camping Cala Pola. From the bus stop, it's a short walk down to the beach.
