La Platja Gran

La Platja Gran stretches approximately two kilometers along the Mediterranean coastline, featuring fine sand and gentle slopes leading into clear waters, surrounded by developed tourist infrastructure including hotels and restaurants.

Archaeological findings indicate human settlement in this area since Neolithic times around 2500 BC, with evidence of continuous occupation including Roman villa remains from the 1st to 4th centuries AD.

Local traditions include maritime festivals celebrating fishing heritage and the annual Living Nativity scene where residents perform traditional Christmas tableaux, reflecting the community's Mediterranean cultural identity and religious customs.

The beach offers essential facilities including showers, restrooms, lifeguard stations during summer months, and nearby parking areas, though visitors should expect crowded conditions during peak tourist season.

Pine-lined pathways adjacent to the beach provide shaded walking areas that remain comfortable year-round, creating a natural corridor that connects different sections of the coastal area.
