Top Beaches in Tarragona, Spain

The beaches are the very reason why a great extent of the world has discovered this small part in Spain. The beaches are visited by millions of people from all over Europe every year. The sand is fine, the water is crystal clear and balmy, and the lifestyle is just what you will yearn for when on holiday escape. The beaches are also the favorite leisure area of the locals. During the summer months, the beaches are crammed with families and people of all ages, from morning until night.

Tarragona is located at the south of Spain in Catalonia; one of the places in southern Spain where it has plenty of beaches. Just like Tenerife in the Canary Islands, also one of the summer destinations of the country. Here is a list with some of the best beaches in Tarragona:

1.     Arabassada Beach

The Arabassada Beach is one of Tarragona' s most popular beaches. Just a short walk or bus ride from the city center, Arabassada has become a preferred spot for the younger crowd of Tarragona as well as a pinnacle spot for tourists visiting the area. Volleyball nets are available and put in place at the rear part of the beach throughout the summer months. And because of the rock-strewn Tarragona coastline, it is always a popular place to take a walk.

2.     Cala Crancs

Cala Crancs is located on the east side of Salou s beaches and is considered as one of the most attractive. It is a rather tiny beach (only 50 meters long) bound by rocks on both sides. Although it is a concealed coast, it is still a favorite of locals and tourists among all the beaches of Salou. If you are searching for a small cove away from some of the crowds, this could be the perfect alternative for you. Cala Crancs can be reached by taking the Faro de Salou road and Pins de Cintet Street in the Urbanizaci N.

3.     Cala Font Beach

Cala Font Beach is named after a natural spring which used to dispense chilly refreshing water into this small cove. Unfortunately, the spring has stopped its flow in the recent years. This is another one of Salou’s minor public beaches. It is only 70 meters long, yet it still upholds space for the people who take the time to get off the more trodden trail. This beach may be reached through the Les Dunes street.

4.     Playa Larga

The Playa Larga or "Long Beach" is the seaside with all the modern facilities and services. Whether you fancy first-class Spanish dish and red wine on the beach, or an exciting day of jet skiing with friends, you will come across all these at Playa Larga. This is the most popular local beach in the vicinity and is big enough to provide a modest area to have fresh air when searching for a private space to be away from the frantic crowd. This is surely a place worth visiting before you conclude your stay in Tarragona.

5.     The Llarga Beach

The Llarga Beach is one of the more fine-looking beaches to be found in Salou. The 600-meter coast is lined with attractive pine trees providing this beach a finicky ambience. It is a fairly lengthy stretch, as its name suggests, but still maintains the feel of a smaller beach. It has not been developed like many of the foremost beaches in Salou and so it still has a natural feel to it. It is furnished with essential facilities, but not in an overloaded sense which would somehow ruin the natural vibe that it strives to achieve. This beach may be reached by going through Replanells Street, off the Salou - Tarragona coast road.
