Platja Gran, Sandy beach near Vila Vella in Tossa de Mar, Spain.
Platja Gran is a wide sandy beach along the coast of Tossa de Mar with light-colored sand and calm water. The beach is backed by a medieval fortress on the rocks above and connects to a waterfront promenade lined with shops and restaurants.
The beach lies below the medieval town that was established as a fortified settlement in the 12th century to defend against pirates. This ancient defensive structure continues to shape how the entire bay appears today.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors spend their days swimming, sunbathing, and walking along the waterfront. You'll find families and friends relaxing under umbrellas or strolling the promenade throughout the day.
The beach is easy to visit and has showers, restrooms, and lifeguards during the warmer months. The promenade behind it is flat and well-accessible with plenty of places to eat and rest.
Boat tours with glass bottoms depart from the beach to nearby coves, allowing views of fish and underwater rock formations. This experience draws many visitors who want to see marine life without diving.
