The beach lies within the Natural Area of Special Interest (ANEI) of cap de Cala Figuera, the nesting spot of a large number of sea birds. The beach features two bar/restaurants which specialize in fresh seafood, rice dishes and fish stews.
Gastronomy
At Portals Nous Marina you will find a wide range of restaurants to suit all tastes. Diablitos bar offers a good range of bar snacks and pizzas, and also Lollo Rosso, a small but friendly Italian restaurant which offers tasty cuisine at reasonable prices.

Comments
Portals Nous is mostly used by the yachtsmen and their guests from Puerto Portals yacht club. It is nice and peaceful beach with clear waters It is certainly one of the better places to go if you just want a small quiet beach. It is just a short walk from the yacht club where one can find plenty of restaurants, bars and shopping, but bring your credit cards as prices can be expensive.
