Calafell Beach

This place is simply lovely! The beautiful sea and the brown sand make it a perfect spot for a day at the beach. The entrance to the water is especially convenient for both children and the elderly. To top it off, the promenade in the evening is truly stunning.

Platja de l'Arrabassada
8 Juanita Wilkins

This is my favorite beach in Tarragona. The water is crystal clear and the golden sand is a delight. There are three chiringuitos that are just the right size - not too big, not too small - and if you can, avoid the weekends to make the most of your experience.

Cala la Mora
8 Jurgis Leonavicius

Cala la Mora has an ideal depth for swimming, making it a great spot for a day by the sea. The water is pleasant and inviting, making it a perfect place to cool off on a hot day. The sand is soft and inviting, and the views are stunning. It's a great place to relax and take in the beauty of the ocean.
