Sant Carles de la Rapita bedste strande

The water on the bay side is particularly warm during the summer. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to learn kitesurfing on this trip, but I'm definitely interested in giving it a go next time I visit.

This beach near Sant Carles de la Rapita in La Ràpita is as gorgeous as all the others, yet the houses perched up high make it seem a bit too populated. The view is still breathtaking, but it's not quite as peaceful as some of the other beaches in the area.

This spot is incredibly tranquil and the water is shallow.

This little beach is the perfect spot for those who want to get away from it all. It's tranquil, secluded and has all the amenities you need for a worry-free day. But beware - the rocks at the center can be tricky to navigate when entering the water.

This rocky cove is far from crowded, and the water is pristine and perfect for snorkelling. There's good parking and free showers, but the only thing it lacks is a beach bar - so don't forget to bring a cooler. And if you don't want to be alone, no worries - there will be plenty of people around.

Far from picturesque, with unimpressive facilities nearby. The sea is shallow and the slope quite gradual, making it a relatively safe spot for younger kids, but not much else.
