This Dominio Público Marítimo Terrestre marker (a "fites" in Catalan) indicates the point at which land to the sea is in the public domain.
In 1988, when the Spanish Ley de Costas was approved, all Spanish coastlines were declared Dominio público marítimo terrestre (Public Domain), granting the general public a right of access. In theory this right of access was meant to stretch 100 m from the waterfront. Often this is not the case and, as you can see here, the width is more like 20 metres.
The boundary stones used to be simple markers made of sandstone whilst now new ones have been placed made of concrete and fitted with a metal plaque like this one.
Type of survey mark: concrete pillar
What indicators are near the mark to help people identify where it is located?:
just uphill from the natural arch
