Platja de la Vall, Mediterranean beach in El Port de la Selva, Spain.
Platja de la Vall is a beach in El Port de la Selva along the Catalan Costa Brava with coarse sandy areas stretching about 200 meters. The cove features a narrow shoreline that alternates between pebbles and sand and appears sheltered from heavy waves.
The sources document no vineyards or recent visitor development at Platja de la Vall. They record only that the beach lies in the bay of El Port de la Selva, between Platja d'en Pere Esteve and Platja de la Colomera, and that the Catalan Water Agency has monitored its bathing water weekly with excellent results.
The beach lies in the bay of Port de la Selva, between Platja d'en Pere Esteve and Platja de la Colomera, facing north-east. Its name, la Vall, refers to the valley behind it, and the northern end is set aside as a dog-friendly area, so bathers share the shore with local dog owners.
Parking is available at the Perabeua urbanization, from where it is about a 50-meter walk to reach the beach. The access is straightforward and the cove offers good conditions for a relaxed visit on most days.
The northern end of the beach is set aside as a dog-friendly area, while the rest of the 197-metre shoreline of sand and gravel has no services or infrastructure at all. A campsite behind the beach holds the only bar and restaurant nearby.
