Platja Nord, Beach in Torreblanca, Plana Alta, Spain
Platja Nord is a sandy beach on Spain's Costa del Azahar that stretches 270 meters along the shore with a width of 60 meters. The Mediterranean waters here create gentle to moderate waves suitable for swimming and relaxation.
The sources record no founding date or historical events for Platja Nord. It is a long gravel-and-sand beach in Torreblanca, in the Plana Alta comarca of the Valencian Country, bordered to the north by Platja del Campás and to the south by Platja de Torrenostra and Platja del Prat, which reaches the Gola del Prat, a channel of the Prat de Cabanes-Torreblanca marshland over seven kilometres long.
The beach's name, Platja Nord, means "North Beach" in Valencian, distinguishing it from the beaches to its south, Platja de Torrenostra and Platja del Prat. It lies within the municipality of Torreblanca in the Plana Alta comarca, and its Blue Flag award is displayed along the seafront promenade.
The beach has showers, toilets, and ramps designed for easier access, making it welcoming for all visitors. A parking area with space for more than 100 vehicles sits close to the shore.
The seabed off Platja Nord is fine sand with very little slope, so the water stays shallow for a long way out. The beach itself is gravel and sand at the waterline. South of the beach, the sand continues to the Gola del Prat, the channel of the Prat de Cabanes-Torreblanca marsh, a wetland more than seven kilometres long.
