Cala Tavellera, Secluded bay in El Port de la Selva, Catalonia, Spain.
Cala Tavellera is a small Mediterranean bay that extends approximately 558 feet (170 meters) in length with clear waters surrounded by rugged rock formations and coastal vegetation.
Local fishermen historically used this protected inlet for anchoring their boats, and remnants of old fishing huts still stand along the shoreline as reminders of past maritime activity.
The bay is part of Cap de Creus Natural Park, a protected area valued by the local community for its unspoiled Mediterranean landscape and traditional connection to fishing heritage.
Access is primarily by boat or on foot via the GR-11 hiking trail, as vehicle entry is restricted and no commercial facilities or lifeguard services are available at the site.
The narrow inlet shape provides exceptional natural shelter for boats, while the coarse sand and shingle beach offers excellent conditions for snorkeling among diverse marine life in transparent waters.

The Costa Brava stretches along the Catalan Mediterranean coast, combining historical monuments with natural landscapes. Girona Cathedral features the widest Gothic nave in the world, while the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres houses the largest collection of the surrealist artist's works. The 10th-century monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes sits above the coast overlooking the sea. The Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries document over a thousand years of Mediterranean settlement. Medieval villages such as Pals and Peratallada have preserved their fortified structures and cobbled streets. The Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes displays Mediterranean and exotic plant species along the cliffs. The coastline offers beaches of various sizes, from the wide sandy stretches at Platja d'Aro to small coves tucked between rocks. The Medes Islands form a marine reserve for divers and snorkelers. The coastal path Camí de Ronda connects many towns, passing through pine forests and along clifftops.
