About Tarragona

There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

Latest reviews on Tarragona's beaches

Platja Cap Roig
8 Barry O'Reilly

That place is a great find! It has black sand with pebbles, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Trabucador Beach
10 Kieran Lee

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.

L'Hospitalet beach
8 AS Anderson

There is a lovely small playground with a zip line and other enjoyable activities for children. It remains peaceful throughout the day.

Platja dels Hortets
6 Gloria M.

This spot is a perfect spot for families to enjoy a day out in the sun. The sand is soft and inviting and the waters are shallow and tranquil. The services located in Sant Carles de la Ràpita make it a convenient place to relax and have fun. It's the perfect spot for a day of fun in the sun.

Altafulla Beach
8 Надежда Карпова.

An ideal spot for families with kids! It has a lovely sandy shoreline that's perfect for leisurely strolls and morning jogs.

Playa Calafat
6 Nebojsa Radonjic

That place might be close to L'Ametlla, but it's not worth the trip. The bar may serve cheap drinks, but it's nothing special. If you're feeling adventurous, you could try to make your way to the rock on the left side of the beach at sunset. But even then, you're not guaranteed a great view - you may end up disappointed.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 19 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
