Platja de la Murtra

Platja de la Murtra sits near Sant Pol de Mar in Catalonia and is known for accepted naturism in a simple coastal setting. Access is open, with no gate and no fixed opening hours, using established paths while respecting natural areas. The surface is sand, largely open to the sun, with little natural shade, so sun protection is important. Swimming is in open Mediterranean water, where conditions vary by wind and season. There is no permanent lifeguard service, so enter the water with care and choose calm conditions. Morning and late afternoon generally bring milder sun and quieter conditions. Summer is generally warm and settled, while late spring and early autumn are milder and quieter. June through September is the most practical period for sunbathing and swimming. Visits often last a few hours for swimming and sunbathing. There are no toilets, showers, shops, or bars on the beach. Bring water and food from Sant Pol de Mar and carry everything out. No admission fee is expected. Parking is not provided at the beach, so use town parking in Sant Pol de Mar and walk. Public transport goes as far as Sant Pol de Mar, followed by a walk. The beach is generally quiet, with more visitors in summer. It is suited to adults seeking quiet naturism, while lack of facilities and shade limits convenience for families. Because shade is scarce, a hat, sunscreen, and extra water make a longer stay more comfortable. Keeping expectations simple helps, as the appeal lies in quiet space rather than amenities.
