Platja de Bon Caponet, Shingle beach in L'Ametlla de Mar, Spain
Platja de Bon Caponet is a small shingle beach on the Mediterranean coast featuring a surface of stone fragments and pebbles. The beach sits among rocky outcrops and offers direct access to the water from a compact, simple setting.
The beach belongs to the coast of L'Ametlla de Mar, a fishing community that developed as a seaside settlement starting in the 1700s. This early foundation has shaped the area as an important location for local maritime culture.
The location reflects the traditions of a local fishing community where daily work and maritime practices shape daily life. The tight connection between residents and the sea defines the rhythm and character of this part of the coast.
The beach is reached on foot via the camí de ronda, the coastal path linking L'Ametlla de Mar and L'Ampolla that forms part of the GR-92 long-distance trail. A car park stands near the entrance. The cove is 29 metres long and 28 metres wide, made of gravel and pebbles, so wear shoes suited to stones.
Since 2012, dogs have been allowed on this beach, a measure that sets it apart from most beaches on the Tarragona coast. The beach is reached via the Camí de Ronda, part of the GR-92 long-distance trail.
