Delta de la Tordera

The Delta de la Tordera is the mouth of the river Tordera on the boundary between Malgrat de Mar (Maresme, Barcelona province) and Blanes (Girona province), at the southern start of the Costa Brava. On the Malgrat side, Platja de la Punta de la Tordera runs from the end of Avinguda Mas Bages towards the river mouth, and the final stretch nearest the river is used for nude bathing; it appears as 'Desembocadura de la Tordera' on the Club Català de Naturisme's list of Catalan nude beaches. Unlike the built-up beaches nearer Malgrat town, the area around the mouth is a small natural space: a lagoon held behind a bar of sediment, low dunes and reed beds that shelter migratory and wintering birds, with a bird-watching tower on the walking route. It belongs to the Natura 2000 network, and both councils have been working on rules to protect it, including access limits. The beach is open and exposed, with no natural shade, and the river can break through or flood after heavy rain (a 2024 flood affected the riverside campsite). Expect a quiet, mixed crowd of local naturists, walkers and birdwatchers rather than a resort scene.
