Cala Montgó, Sandy beach in Torroella de Montgrí, Spain.

Cala Montgó is a sandy beach tucked between steep cliffs and pine forest on the Costa Brava, opening toward the Mediterranean. The shoreline sits sheltered by natural rock formations that create a secluded cove feeling.

Cala Montgó lies at the northern foothills of the Montgrí massif, in the municipality of Torroella de Montgrí though closer to L'Escala. The sources record no fishing-rights history; the documented fortification is the watchtower crowning Punta Montgó (96 m), built in the Modern Age. The GR 92 long-distance path, which runs the Catalan coast from Portbou to Ulldecona, crosses the beach.

The name Montgó also belongs to the 96-metre headland that closes the cove to the north, crowned by a fortified watchtower from the Modern Age. On Sunday mornings a market is set up on the seafront promenade of L'Escala, from where a coastal footpath leads to the beach. The cove holds a Blue Flag for water quality and services.

The beach has showers, toilets, and a car park with limited spaces for visitors. You can rent sun loungers on-site and find snack bars and refreshments nearby.

The width of this cove shifts noticeably with the seasons and wave action, as sand constantly moves back and forth along the shore. This natural variation means the beach has a slightly different character depending on when you visit.
