Cala Pola, Sandy cove in Tossa de Mar, Spain
Cala Pola is a cove in the north of Tossa de Mar municipality, between Cala Giverola and Cala Bona. Its beach of coarse sand and gravel is 54 metres wide and 70 metres long. A small valley above the beach, beside the Torrent de Pola, holds a campsite opened in the 1950s and renovated in 2022.
The 2007 reopening of the coastal path between Tossa de Mar's Mar Menuda beach and Cala Pola restored a walking link that is meant to form part of a longer route along the whole municipal coastline. Above the beach, beside the Torrent de Pola, a campsite opened in the 1950s and was renovated in 2022; it belongs to the Pola-Giverola resort, which also takes in the Cala Giverola valley and the hill separating the two coves.
The name Pola comes from the Torrent de Pola, the stream that runs down beside the beach. Above the cove, in the small valley by the stream, stands a campsite opened in the 1950s and renovated in 2022; it belongs to the Pola-Giverola resort, which also takes in the Giverola valley and the hill between the two coves.
The cove is accessible by a coastal footpath, by car via the GI-682 road, or by boat service from Tossa de Mar town center. Accommodations including a campsite and hotel are located directly at the water's edge, making overnight stays convenient.
The coastal path linking Cala Pola to Tossa de Mar's Mar Menuda beach was restored in 2007; it is the first completed stretch of a planned route that would one day follow the entire municipal coastline. Above the beach, beside the Torrent de Pola, a campsite opened in the 1950s and was renovated in 2022.
