Spain - Costa Brava - Cala del Senyor Ramon
To get there by car set your navigation to Cala Sr Ramon parking (parking along the road):
That parking is free and you can leave your car there, but then would need to walk down the road to get to the sea. The other option would be driving down, and parking near the Can Rigau cafe, it’s 7 euro per day but from our experience worth paying rather than carrying all that beach gear from the hill:
In that cafe you can also rent a sun umbrella for 4 euro if you don’t have your own, which is necessary as there is almost no shade on the beach to hide from the sun. The cafe also serves some food (sandwiches and pizza) which is probably better than dying from hunger, but I’d recommend bringing your own food, as it’s not really a gourmet place.
The beach itself is quite spacious and has fascinating rocks around. You can go nude there or keep your swimming pants on. The sand is made from those traditional in the area tiny stones, that get extremely hot after midday. Whole beach line has an easy entrance into the sea, but wearing swimming shoes would make the experience more pleasant as occasionally you would bump into rocks in the water.
From the snorkeling point of view the most interesting area is on the northern side, about 10-20m into the see in front of large rocks laying on the beach:
That area has the most seaweed and thus more fish interested in exploring it. There is also quite some activity closer to the rocks at north, but watch out at that area, as rocks might fall from time to time and it sometimes gets quite wavy.
The middle area is almost empty and we didn’t see anything worthwhile on the south of the beach.
To sum up: would I go there again - definitely yes, perhaps less for snorkeling but definitely for chill beach day with stunning view.
