Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Els Pinets is a small natural cove only 60 metres long and 10 metres wide, where fine sand alternates with rocks. The protected natural setting of the Natura 2000 Network, vegetation and calm waters contrast with its high visitor numbers. Arrival is easy on foot or by car, and a coastal path with interpretive panels can also be followed; the car park has fewer than 50 spaces. Litter bins, cleaning and an anchorage area complete the specific facilities.
