Platja de l'Illa

Platja de l'Illa, Beach in Cadaqués, Spain.

Platja de s'Illa, also called platja de l'Illa de Portlligat, is a natural beach south of the island of Portlligat in Cadaqués, Alt Empordà. It is 76 metres long and 11 metres wide on average, made of gravel and pebbles rather than sand, and is the largest beach on the island.

The beach lies on the islet of Portlligat, south of the island itself, and was long reached only across the shallow passage of ses Boquelles, a channel about 30 m wide separating island from mainland. Beside the beach stood the Sentís family house, demolished when the Diputació de Girona bought the island in 1995.

The beach lies on the islet of Portlligat, separated from the mainland by the shallow channel of ses Boquelles, about 30 m wide, which bathers wade across from Platja d'en Pep Ton. Beside the beach stood the Sentís family house, demolished when the Diputació de Girona bought the island in 1995.

Platja de s'Illa is reached on foot from Platja d'en Pep Ton in the badia de Portlligat, wading through the shallow passatge de ses Boquelles, a channel about 30 m wide separating the island from the mainland. The beach itself is 76 m long and averages 11 m wide, made of gravel and pebbles rather than sand. In 2021 the Diputació de Girona added tables and benches at the arrival area and built gabions to stop the beach from disappearing.

The beach lies on the islet of Portlligat, separated from the mainland by a channel about 30 metres wide, the passatge de ses Boquelles, shallow enough to wade across from the bay of Portlligat. The Sentís family house once stood beside it until the Diputació de Girona bought the islet in 1995 and demolished it.
