Located about 30 min south of Barcelona, Cala Fonda (aka Waikiki Beach) is a popular haunt for beach lovers who wish to avoid the tourist crowds on the Barcelona beaches. Reputed to be a real little coastal paradise, finding this beach requires quite some effort including a 15-20 min hike from the nearest parking area at La Mora Beach or Platja Llarga, if you are approaching from the south. Either way, your effort will be rewarded when you reach this secluded little gem which is tucked into an almost-untouched cove. You will need to bring along everything you need (and carry it out again); be sure to bring plenty of drinking water and sunscreen and a picnic if you are planning to stay all day.
Cala Fonda, Espai Natural de la Munta de la Mora, Tarragona, 43007, Spain
