Platja Nova, Beach in Roses, Spain
Platja Nova is a beach in the town of Roses, on the Costa Brava in Spain, located between the harbor and the town dyke. The sand is fine and pale, and the water stays shallow for a good stretch, which makes wading easy.
Roses has been a fishing town for centuries, and this stretch of shore has always been part of daily life for its residents. In 2003, the beach received an environmental award and earned ISO 14001 and EMAS certification for its approach to managing the natural setting.
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.
