Les Tres Platgetes
Les Tres Platgetes is so called because it used to have a main beach and two secondary beaches.
Made up of gravel and coarse sand, it is located 200 metres north of the main beach of Portbou. It can be reached on foot, following the marvellous coastal path from platja Gran beach, where you will find a magnificent natural environment and discover the different caves that exist in the area.
Moreover, as it is located at the foot of the cliffs between the road and the sea, this beach is safe from the tramontana wind. It is a good place to anchor and practice nautical sports, especially scuba diving, thanks to the reefs and rocky areas that offer an enchanting marine environment to explore.
Visit Portbou
The farewell with Costa Brava
The municipality of Portbou is located at the eastern end of the Albera mountain range, in a very rugged terrain just before the border with France.
This picturesque village on the Costa Brava grew and developed in parallel with its international railway station, inaugurated at the end of the 19th century, which gives it a marked frontier character.
One of the main points of interest in the town is the neogothic Santa Maria church, from where you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the bay. From Portbou you can also enjoy an interesting range of coves and beaches where you can spend a pleasant day bathing and sunbathing, or practising water sports. Among all of them, we can highlight el Claper cove or Les Tres Platgetes.
Sailing enthusiasts can also enjoy the marina, which opened in 2002 and is located in the south of the bay. It has a capacity of 297 moorings.
