Platja de la Pelliceta, Mediterranean beach in Roda de Berà, Spain
Platja de la Pelliceta stretches about 500 meters along the coast with golden sand and clear water, framed by rocky outcrops and low coastal vegetation. The shoreline varies between sandy swimming areas and rockier sections that give it natural character.
The area has ancient roots, with Roman settlement remains dating to the second century BCE found nearby. This coastline served as a trading post along Mediterranean routes that connected distant regions.
The beach has long been central to local fishing traditions, with fishermen still supplying fresh seafood to nearby restaurants that serve traditional coastal dishes.
The beach has nearby parking and good access to public transportation linking to other towns along the Costa Daurada coast. Restroom facilities and basic amenities are available on-site, making it straightforward to spend a day here.
During summer months, the setting sun creates intense red and orange colors across the water that are visible from every part of the beach, making it a photographer's favorite spot. This display happens because the beach faces south, capturing the sunset at its best angle.
