Beach characteristics
Overview
Platja de Can Comes is listed as a naturist beach on the coast of Catalonia near Castelló d'Empúries. The shoreline is reported as a mixed-use sandy beach where naturist swimming and sunbathing occur alongside textile use. It sits in an open natural coastal landscape with no developed beach services. Visits range from short coastal stops to stays of several hours in settled summer weather. The most practical period is generally June through September. Visitors should arrive self-sufficient, with sun protection, drinking water, and realistic plans for walking, parking, and changing sea conditions.
Visiting the beach
Platja de Can Comes is an undeveloped sandy beach on the Mediterranean coast of Upper Empordà. Access is on foot via unpaved tracks and paths through the surrounding natural area, so wear closed walking shoes and allow time for the walk in both directions. There is no direct beachfront parking, and visitors generally use parking in the surrounding area before continuing on foot. No direct public transport reaches the sand, so most visits depend on a private vehicle or bicycle combined with walking. The beach has no developed facilities, lifeguards, toilets, showers, or food and drink services. Bring drinking water, food, sun protection, and a bag for all litter, and plan to carry everything out again because bins should not be relied upon. The shoreline is largely open with little natural shade, and earlier or later daylight hours can be more comfortable during hot summer weather. A hat and extra water can make a stay of several hours more manageable in settled summer conditions. Sea conditions vary with wind and weather, so check the water on arrival and avoid swimming when the sea looks rough. With no lifeguards present, swimming calls for a conservative approach and careful assessment throughout the visit. Visitor numbers are generally low, although warm summer days can bring more people, so arriving with flexible expectations for space helps. Because the beach crosses a protected natural area, stay on established paths, avoid disturbing plants and wildlife, keep noise low, and protect valuables because assistance is limited. Mobile reception and help in case of difficulty should not be relied upon. Plan the return walk with enough daylight, especially outside June through September, and recheck weather and sea state before setting off back along the tracks.

Naturist rules
Naturist use at Platja de Can Comes is reported rather than officially designated, and textile visitors may also be present. Choose a spot with good distance from others and avoid walking unclothed through busier or family areas. Keep photography, staring, and loud behaviour out of the visit. Do not leave clothing, towels, or rubbish spread across shared sand. Respect personal space, keep dogs under control where local rules permit them, and follow any natural-park signs. Keep swimwear at hand so it is easy to adapt if the mix of visitors changes during the day. If uncertain whether nudity is welcome in a particular section, remain clothed or ask discreetly before undressing.
Visitor overview
Platja de Can Comes suits visitors looking for a quiet, natural sandy beach without services. Expect open sun, sandy ground, low visitor numbers, and self-sufficient planning for water, food, shade, and toilets. The sea is open Mediterranean water and conditions change with wind and weather. Access on foot and limited nearby parking make it less convenient for visitors with limited mobility or families needing facilities. Natural paths and open ground mean comfortable walking shoes and realistic timing matter for the walk in and out. A visit can work as a short coastal stop or a stay of several hours in settled June to September weather, with daylight visits and careful preparation suiting it best.
