Beach of el Pi Nature · Portbou, Alt Empordà, Girona The Platja del Pi is a natural pebble beach in the municipality of Portbou (Alt Empordà), located between cliffs, on the north side of the bay of Portbou, 500 m north of the town; it is the first Catalan beach accessible once the border with France has been crossed, both by the N-260 road and by the coastal path from Portbou, passing the Tres Platgetes beach. Facing south, it is very sheltered when the tramontane wind blows. It is 45 m long and 10 m wide, has no services, and nudism is common there; its seabed makes it suitable for diving.
