Platja de Castell, Sand and nude beach in Palamós, Spain
Platja de Castell is a sand and nude beach along the Costa Brava, featuring golden sand bordered by dense pine forests and farmland behind the shoreline. The beach stretches for several hundred meters with natural features largely undisturbed by development.
An ancient Iberian settlement stands at the eastern end, providing evidence that people have inhabited this coastal area since prehistoric times. These archaeological remains show the long-term human connection to this Mediterranean shore.
The beach hosts different groups of visitors who coexist in their own designated spaces, reflecting how this Mediterranean shore adapts to diverse preferences. You can observe how locals and tourists navigate these areas with mutual respect throughout the day.
The beach has ramps for visitors with mobility needs and maintains lifeguard coverage during the swimming season. Parking is available nearby, and you can rent loungers and kayaks or bring your own equipment.
The shore remains remarkably undeveloped with no high-rise construction, only old farmhouses and pine groves breaking the natural landscape. This absence of building keeps it among the few remaining untouched coastal stretches in the area.

The Costa Brava stretches along the Catalan Mediterranean coast, combining historical monuments with natural landscapes. Girona Cathedral features the widest Gothic nave in the world, while the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres houses the largest collection of the surrealist artist's works. The 10th-century monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes sits above the coast overlooking the sea. The Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries document over a thousand years of Mediterranean settlement. Medieval villages such as Pals and Peratallada have preserved their fortified structures and cobbled streets. The Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes displays Mediterranean and exotic plant species along the cliffs. The coastline offers beaches of various sizes, from the wide sandy stretches at Platja d'Aro to small coves tucked between rocks. The Medes Islands form a marine reserve for divers and snorkelers. The coastal path Camí de Ronda connects many towns, passing through pine forests and along clifftops.
