Platja de Castell

Platja de Castell, Sand and nude beach in Palamós, Spain

Description

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.

History

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.

Culture

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.

Practical

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.

Did you know?

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.
