Platja Nova, Beach in Roses, Spain

Platja Nova is an urban beach in Roses, between the breakwaters of the riera dels Ginjolers and the rec d'En Forquilla, where Platja del Rastell begins. It is 450 metres long, with fine sand and shallow, clear water. The seafront promenade runs alongside it, and the Homenatge dels Pescadors sculpture stands near the beach.

Platja Nova is one of the three beaches that together form the locally named Platja Gran, running from Platja de Santa Margarida to the breakwaters of the riera dels Ginjolers, a total of 1,300 metres. In 2003 the beach obtained the EMAS environmental quality certificate and ISO 14.001.

The beach is easy to reach on foot from the center of Roses, and there is parking nearby, though it fills up fast in summer. Ramps and walkways make access simple for visitors with reduced mobility, and lifeguards are on duty during the day.

The swimming area is clearly marked by floating buoys, which makes it easier for families with children to know where the safe zone is. There is also a children's playground and a kids' club right on the beach, so younger visitors have a dedicated space to play.
