Cala Tamariua

Cala Tamariua is a small sea cove reached on foot from the area around el Port de la Selva. Expect uneven coastal paths with rocky sections, then a gravel shore that continues into the water entry. Sturdy shoes, sun protection, water, food, and a mat or thick towel make the visit more comfortable because little natural shade is available and no services are expected. Morning often gives strong sun and calmer conditions for swimming and resting, while afternoon light can feel intense on the open gravel with high sun exposure. The water is generally clear, with gravel underfoot and variable depth near rocks, so enter slowly and avoid climbing on slippery surfaces. Take extra care with footing on loose stones both on the paths and at the waterline. No lifeguard service is expected, and swimming calls for personal caution, especially when the sea moves. The shore is openly accessible without fixed opening hours, and no admission fee is expected. Parking is not at the cove itself; use available parking near the town area and continue on foot, allowing enough time for the walk over uneven ground. There is no direct public transport to the water, so most visitors arrive by private vehicle to the nearby town and then walk. The cove is generally quiet, although summer brings more visitors and less privacy, with use spread thinly along the narrow shore. Families should note the remote foot access, gravel entry, and accepted naturism, where swimwear is optional and textile use also occurs. Bring everything out again, respect signed areas and surrounding land, and leave space between groups on the narrow shore.
