Beach description

Canadel Beach is located in a small bay (200 meters in length), separated from neighboring land by high rocky ledges. Several city streets go to the sea, cute houses with blue shutters stand right on the coast.

The recreation area near the water is quite small (the width of the beach is about 30 meters). The beach is covered with sand, but at the bottom there are also rocky areas, especially along the edges. In the central part of the bay, entry into the water is more convenient. The sea here is very clear, the water is clear and amazingly beautiful in color.

The location of the beach makes this place very popular among tourists, especially during the high holiday season.

When is it better to go

The Costa Brava, with its stunning coastline and picturesque beaches, is a prime destination for sun-seekers and water enthusiasts. To make the most of your beach vacation, timing is key.

  • Summer (June to August): The peak season for beachgoers, offering the warmest weather and a bustling atmosphere. Expect crowded beaches and vibrant nightlife.
  • Spring (April to May): Ideal for those seeking a quieter experience. The weather is pleasantly warm, and the waters are suitable for swimming.
  • Early Fall (September to October): Another great time to visit, with fewer crowds and mild temperatures. The sea remains warm enough for swimming and water activities.

While the best time to visit the Costa Brava for a beach vacation largely depends on personal preferences, the period from late May to early September offers the optimal balance of warm weather and manageable tourist crowds. This window allows visitors to fully enjoy the region's natural beauty and outdoor activities.
