Resort Setting & Historical Origins
Platja de Torà, also referred to as Peguera Torà, is one of the three main beaches forming Peguera’s resort coastline, alongside Palmira and La Romana. The name Peguera originates from the pine resin ovens once used in the area, while Torà may have roots linked to the old possessió once located here, now replaced by modern hotels and apartments that frame the beach.
Despite its urban development, Torà Beach retains a few pockets of pine trees, offering some natural shading along the edges of this otherwise vibrant tourist hub.
Beach Characteristics
The beach features fine natural sand, a gentle slope, and generally calm waters, making it a safe and attractive spot for families and swimmers. As one of Peguera's central beaches, it is always lively and well-frequented by both tourists and local residents.
Boating & Anchoring
Anchoring is excellent off Torà Beach, particularly with southwest-facing winds. The sandy seabed provides stable holding, with depths ranging from 3 to 4 metres. Full marina services are available at Club Nàutic Santa Ponça, located approximately 2 nautical miles away.
Access & Popularity
Access is very straightforward, with clear signage and free parking available nearby. Public transport also serves the area, with bus stops conveniently located in the vicinity. Thanks to its central position, full range of facilities, easy access, and consistent popularity, Platja de Torà remains one of the busiest and most vibrant beaches within Peguera’s resort zone, perfect for visitors looking for a lively beach atmosphere with full amenities.
