Tips

November 7, 2022

Estany Tort beach is located in the Baix Camp region, in the municipality of Ametlla de Mar, specifically in Cala Nova, between Cala del Llop Marí to the south and Xelin beach to the north. Space included within the terrestrial maritime public domain that hosts a small dune system and remains of an ancient coastal lagoon.

Activities
The beach is used exclusively for tourism, with an influx of visitors mainly in the summer months. Unlike other beaches in the municipality, that of Estany Tort does not have the European Blue Flag qualification, so it does not have an excess of services, but only a shower at the foot of the access ramp to beach

Natural values:
From a natural point of view, the Estany Tort beach is one of the 5 beaches with the most natural values of the more than 25 in the municipality. In this sense, it presents three habitats of community interest, the first of which is a priority:
- Old coastal lagoon: in the past there was an irregular body of water at the back of the cove. Currently, this wetland area can only be sensed by the presence of swamp vegetation, as it is completely filled with sediments and organic matter. This type of lagoon is a habitat of priority community interest for the European Union (Code 1150).
- Dunes with natural vegetation: Despite their modest extension, of around 400 m2, the dunes on the Estany Tort beach are the most extensive in the entire municipality of Ametlla de Mar. These are moving dunes with sandpiper communities (Ammophila arenaria) of the sandy beaches, habitats of community interest (Code 2120 of the ).
- Coastal maquis and pine forests: The Estany Tort beach is surrounded by pine forests of white pine (Pinus halepensis) with an undergrowth of maquis with ullastre (Olea europaea) and margallon (Chamaerops humilis), habitat of community interest (Code 9540) .
