Platja de l'Illa, Beach in Cadaqués, Spain.
Platja de l'Illa is a beach along the Costa Brava that stretches roughly 174 meters along the Mediterranean coast. It features fine golden sand and is surrounded by mountain peaks that give the location its distinctive character.
The beach was already an important landing spot for fishing boats in earlier centuries and later attracted artists who drew inspiration from the area's beauty. This combination of practical maritime use and artistic interest shaped the location's character over time.
The beach has long been a meeting place where visitors from different backgrounds gather and coexist peacefully. This open-minded character is reflected in how people use the space and interact with one another throughout the day.
The beach is easy to reach and has a casual drinks bar near one end, making a visit straightforward and convenient. The width of roughly 15 meters provides adequate space for moving around and trying different activities.
The beach is framed by rocky outcrops that give the water's edge a rougher, more natural feeling than typical sandy shores. These geological features make the surrounding area interesting to explore and give the coastline its distinctive appearance.
