Cala Fonda, Rock beach in La Vila Joiosa, Spain.
Cala Fonda is a narrow rock beach on the Mediterranean coast with limestone formations and clear water, surrounded by steep cliffs and wild vegetation. This small cove spans just a few meters and offers a secluded retreat away from larger beaches.
The cove served as an important observation point for local fishermen in the 19th century, who watched the coastal trade. This strategic location made it a quiet meeting place along the Mediterranean routes of that era.
The beach maintains its traditional status as a naturist-friendly location, reflecting the Spanish coastal lifestyle of harmonious connection with nature.
Access requires about a 20-minute walk on a dirt path from nearby beaches. No facilities are available at the site, so bring everything you need including water and sun protection.
At low tide, natural rock pools form, creating small protected swimming areas and spots for observing marine life. These temporary formations change the cove's character depending on the water level.
