CALA MONTJOI - Costa Brava
Cala Montjoi sits directly within the Cap de Creus Natural Park, offering immediate boat access to some of the Costa Brava's most varied diving. We've found the house reef, accessible straight from the beach, is a great spot for calmer dives, especially good for newer divers or for a relaxed afternoon dip. They cater well to groups looking for convenience, with easy access to many of the park's 99 dive sites, from shallow reefs to deeper walls. It’s a solid choice if you want to be right on the water, minimising travel time to the best local sites.
