Cala des Falcó

Cala des Falcó stretches along the northeast coast of Spain, in Catalonia, near the town of Begur in the Empordà region. Located about 150 kilometers northeast of Barcelona, this small cove benefits from a southwest exposure, protected by the limestone cliffs that frame the coastline of this part of the Costa Brava. The rocky and rugged shore characteristic of this area gradually gives way to more accessible coves heading south, while further north, more imposing geological formations dominate. The beach itself offers fine golden sand, contrasting with the surrounding rocky calas. Cala des Falcó remains a confidential destination compared to its immediate neighbors: Aigua Xelida and Platja de Sa Riera, both located 3.1 kilometers away, attract more summer visitors. The absence of official supervision and relatively discreet access preserve a tranquil character, far from massive infrastructure. The crystal-clear waters invite swimming, while the sandy bottoms facilitate gradual entry into the sea. The cliffs overlooking the cala offer a dramatic setting, especially in the late afternoon when the low-angled light highlights the geological strata. No major tourist infrastructure is present on site: no dedicated parking, no toilets, no restaurant. The beach does not fly the Blue Flag and remains unsupervised. Access is not adapted for people with reduced mobility. This simplicity is precisely its appeal for visitors seeking a less formalized coastal experience.

About this spot

The name "Falcó" refers to the falcons that once nested in the cliffs overlooking this stretch of the Catalan coast. Geologically, Cala des Falcó is part of the upper Cretaceous limestone formations that shape the entire Costa Brava. During the Great War, these coves served as clandestine supply points for smugglers operating between Spain and France. Local fishermen from Begur knew every corner of this indented coast, using the calas as natural shelters during Mediterranean storms.
