Cala Estreta, Golden sand beach in Palamós, Spain
Cala Estreta is a compact sandy beach in Palamós featuring coarse golden sand bordered by rocky outcrops and a central reef formation. The small cove divides naturally into two sections, each offering different water depths and swimming conditions.
Fishermen have worked this cove since the 16th century, as shown by a preserved stone hut still visible on the shore. The site held importance in the local fishing traditions of the region.
The beach maintains two distinct sections, with designated areas for traditional beachgoers and naturist practices following Mediterranean coastal customs.
The beach is reachable via coastal walking paths or woodland trails from nearby beaches in the area. Given its small size, it fills quickly on sunny days, so visiting early makes sense.
A large reef divides the cove into two distinct half-moon shaped sections with different water characteristics and visibility. This natural structure appeals to snorkelers interested in exploring the varying underwater conditions.
