About Platja del Borró
Platja del Borró is a small north-facing beach on Cap Ras, the protected headland where the municipalities of Colera and Llançà meet on the northern Costa Brava (Alt Empordà). It measures roughly 125 by 20 metres and a spine of rock running into the water splits it into two little coves. The sand is fine and golden, unusual on this mostly pebbly stretch of coast, and the surroundings are scrub and rock with no buildings. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a nudist-tradition beach, and the Catalan naturist club includes 'Cala Borró' on Cap Ras in its list of Catalan nude beaches. It gets busy in summer for its size but is otherwise calm. There are no services at all: no bar, lifeguard, shower or shade. Being north-facing it is exposed to the Tramuntana wind, so it is best on calm days. Note that some general beach directories mark Borró as non-nudist, and several separate coves on Cap Ras share the Borró name, so use the coordinates rather than the name alone.
Getting there
Cap Ras is reached from the N-260 coast road between Llançà and Colera. From the roadside parking it is a walk of about 10 minutes along paths over the headland to the beach; the final section is uneven and there is no accessible route. Llançà railway station (Barcelona–Portbou line) is about 2 km away for those arriving by train.
Amenities
Legal context
Nudity is not prohibited on Spanish beaches and FEN classes Borró as a beach of nudist tradition; there is no municipal naturist signage. Some tourist directories list it as non-nudist, so expect a mix of clothed and nude users (2026).
Naturism at Platja del Borró sits under Spain's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
