Platja de sa Pedrera, Sandy beach in Tossa de Mar, Spain.
Platja de sa Pedrera is a sandy beach along the Tossa de Mar coast framed by rocky outcrops and sea cliffs overlooking clear Mediterranean water. The shoreline flows between natural stone formations that create distinct sections and visual boundaries throughout the beach.
Roman settlers established a maritime presence in this area during ancient times. The rocky formations and coastal layout have changed little since then, preserving the basic character the Romans would have recognized.
Locals gather here regularly, and the beach is woven into the daily rhythm of the town. Nearby eateries depend on the daily catches brought in by fishermen who work these waters.
Parking spaces are limited and fill quickly during peak summer months, so arriving early is wise. There are no on-site facilities for equipment rental, so bring what you need.
Low tide reveals natural rock pools where water stays sheltered and warm for swimming and exploring. These shallow basins shift and reshape themselves with the tides throughout the year.
