About Platja de Can Comes
Can Comes is a long, wild beach in the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà natural park, in the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries on the Bay of Roses. It stretches for nearly 4 km of fine sand and dunes from the mouth of the Muga river south towards the Nàutic Almatà campsite near the Fluvià, with wetlands and lagoons behind. Inside the park's integral reserve, the beach has no buildings, bars or other services and much of it can only be walked along close to the water's edge. Birds nest in the dunes and hollows, which are protected, so stay on the sand near the sea. The beach is on the Catalan Naturism Club's list of nudist beaches in the Alt Empordà, and its isolation means nude bathing is common along the quieter stretches. Expect few people, a natural setting and the need to carry in everything you need.
Getting there
There is no road to the beach. Most visitors walk in along the shore from Empuriabrava, south of the Muga mouth, or from the Sant Pere Pescador side and the campsites near the Fluvià. Because the beach lies within a protected reserve, access to parts of it is restricted during the bird-nesting season (sources cite roughly 1 April to 30 June); check current park rules at the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà visitor centre before going. No public transport reaches the beach and it is not wheelchair accessible.
Legal context
Spain has no national law against public nudity, and nude bathing is lawful on any beach unless a municipal bylaw restricts it. Can Comes is not formally designated nudist but is on the Catalan Naturism Club's 2026 list. As part of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà natural park reserve, seasonal access restrictions apply to protect nesting birds, and entering the dunes is not allowed.
Naturism at Platja de Can Comes sits under Spain's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
