Platja Confitera, Mediterranean beach in Cadaqués, Spain.
Platja Confitera is a small beach along the Costa Brava coast made up of pebbles and coarse sand, providing direct access to clear Mediterranean waters. The surrounding hillside creates a sheltered cove where the land rises around the shoreline.
The coastal area has served fishing communities since ancient times through the 20th century, with local fishermen relying on rich waters off the coast. This long connection to the sea shaped how the region developed and how people settled along this shoreline.
The beach reflects the open-minded artistic character that has defined Cadaqués since the early 20th century and remains visible in how visitors use the space. This tradition connects the location to its role as a gathering point for creative people throughout modern times.
The beach has few facilities, so bring your own water, food, and beach gear before arriving. A short walk through a residential area is needed to reach the water's edge.
Natural rock formations along the shore create small pockets that naturally separate groups of visitors during busy times. These formations developed over thousands of years and offer swimmers some protection from wind and waves.
