Cala Jugadora, Rocky cove in Cadaqués, Spain.
Cala Jugadora is a small cove with about 50 meters of coastline lined with smooth pebbles and surrounded by clear water. It sits within the Cap de Creus Natural Park and is defined by distinctive rock formations.
The cove has long served as a natural shelter for fishermen along the rocky Costa Brava coast. Over the centuries, local seafarers used this protected spot as an anchor point for navigation along the shoreline.
The rock formations here reflect the typical Catalan coastal landscape and have drawn artists and photographers for decades who come to create their work.
Access is by walking from the main trail between Cadaqués and the Cap de Creus lighthouse. Since facilities here are limited, bring everything you might need for the day.
The seabed here contains an extensive seagrass meadow that creates a diverse underwater ecosystem. This posidonia grass is essential for the health of the Mediterranean Sea.
