Playa de las Rocas refers to the beach just west of Calella's broad main beach. The entire 900-meter span of Las Rocas is shown by the line the is partly red and partly pink. The red segment is the area of the beach where most nudists gather, which is about 150 meters long. The pink segment is the rest of the beach, which is mostly textile except for another pinpointed area of nudist attendance.

The main nude area of the beach is most quickly accessed from the easternmost (closest to Calella) of the three pinpointed parking areas. Once you park, you can either take a tunnel under the road to reach the beach (see the green line), or you can take the stairs that land at the far west end of Calella's main beach (see the orange line). The green hiker placemark explains more about access.

Las Rocas consists of multiple coves, some of which are separated by rocky outcroppings. There are two relatively deep coves on either end of the nude area (the green line leads to one, the orange line to the other), and there are a few tiny micro-coves between them. These micro-coves disappear at high tide, splitting the nude beach into two areas.

If you cross the outcropping at the western end of the nude area, the next cove contains a beach café, and there are several more coves farther west. One of them (pinpointed) often draws nudists, but the rest of the coves are likely to be all or mostly textile, especially on crowded days.

All the beach, including the nude areas, is visible from the sidewalk along the coastal road, so there is little privacy from pedestrians overhead.
