The pearl of Costa Brava, Cadaqués, is a dreamy coastal city characterised by narrow streets, pebble beaches and a bohemian atmosphere. From the moment you set foot in this Spanish city, you’ll witness the tryst between its whitewashed houses and the cobalt-blue bay they overlook. No wonder artists like Salvado Dalí and Pablo Picasso visited this seaside town to unwind, and perhaps, look for a muse.
The sun-drenched beaches of Cadaqués offer unspoilt views of beautiful white buildings and crystal-clear waters. A statue of Dalí will welcome you to Playa Grande, a centrally located beach where you can wander around the beach boulevard or grab a drink at one of the bars. Playa Es Sortell is a small pebbled beach where you can read a book or take a nap amid the gentle sea breeze. If you’re looking for a secluded beach and don’t mind travelling a little, head to Cala Culleró – a scenic shore surrounded by rocky cliffs sculpted by the wind and sea.
When travelling in Cadaqués, walk along the labyrinth of stone-paved streets, admiring the vibrant window shutters and flowers growing on the ivory-coloured walls. You can make your way to the 16th-century church of Santa Maria that sits on the highest point of the city. One of the key highlights of the city is Salvador Dali's House in Portlligat. You can explore the eccentric interiors of the house and take in the views of the sea, vineyards and cliffs.

Beautiful seaside town. Picturesque and charming. Plenty of lovely restaurants and coffee shops. A must visit is the trip to Dali’s house, just stunning. Crystal clear water for swimming. Would definitely return.
Beautiful town and coastline.

Beautiful town and coastline. Exceedingly windy therefore cold but we went in April. Restaurants and supermarkets overpriced but lovely church, museum, little shops and steep windy streets to wander around. Twenty minute drive to get there winding back and forth through the mountains so not great if you get carsick. Beautiful walks in all directions if you can brave the wind.

Cadaques is a small town, still with a lot of excellent small independent restaurants, design shops. It has some exquisite bays for swimming as well as exceptional scenery. everything is walking distance including the Salvador Dali home. If you like biking or trekking it is also a very good choice. Do not miss Cap de Creus natural reserve, where you can even have lunch or dinner. The food is always exceptional in Cadaques
Cadaques is a beautiful hidden gem.

Cadaques is a beautiful hidden gem. Most visitors have driven from neighbouring France or other parts of Spain, not many Brits abroad! It's a bustling and very family friendly town. Plenty of places to eat and drink and you can spend your days on the beach, doing watersports, visiting Dali's House, or at your hotel pool. Walking along the harbour at night is beautiful.
Cadaques is a beautiful village.

Cadaques is a beautiful village. It is a perfect mix of elegance luxury and also within the reach of all. Cristall waters, small beach, good restaurant, nice shops, amazing bar. I Love Cadaques surrounded by beautiful nature reserves . The best way to enjoy the sea is to rent a boat Strongly suggest having a holiday in Cadaques, it is unique !

Cadeques is a very quaint little village with lots of lovely cafes, eateries and bars. Their is lots to see and a lot of shops (if you like shopping?). Not a place for high heals due to steep hills and uneven pavements but the place is full of people that like to promenade!. Very very busy place, lots of day trippers. All the beaches are small and rocky. A coastal walk is recommended to find a rare sandy (ish) beach. Picturesque and well worth a visit. Tourists predominately French
