Platja del Pi

Platja del Pi sits on the Mediterranean coast near Portbou in Catalonia and is reached on foot by coastal path over uneven rocky ground. There is no parking at the beach, so visitors park in Portbou and continue walking. Public transport reaches Portbou, but the final section is on foot with no shuttle indicated, so allow time and wear sturdy footwear. The path and shore are not adapted for reduced mobility, and there are no accessible facilities. Access is open public beach access with no booking indicated and no fixed opening hours, with visits normally during daylight. There is no admission fee expected. The beach is generally quiet with low occupancy, even in summer, and typical stays are a few hours for swimming and sunbathing. The surface is pebble and stone, so water shoes and a thick mat help. Entry to the water has rocky footing and Mediterranean seawater conditions can vary with wind and waves. There is no lifeguard service expected. There are no toilets, showers, food or drink outlets, or shade structures. Very little shade and high sun exposure during midday in summer mean water, food, sun protection, and all swim and beach gear must be carried in and out. Morning and early afternoon offer the most sun on the shore. Because the site is remote with no services, check sea conditions before swimming and keep to personal comfort levels. Since nothing can be bought at the shore, drinking water, food, sun protection, and a bag for rubbish are normally packed in Portbou before setting out for the walk and the stay.
