The Costa Dorada is one of those beach areas that every tourist should have in mind when the summer months approach. It covers quite a wide area, from Cunit to Hospitalet del Infante. In total you can find more than 60 beaches of fine golden sand (hence its name) bathed by the Mediterranean Sea.
If you are looking for the best beaches on the Costa Dorada you are in luck, because in this article I will tell you about and show you pictures of what in my opinion are the ones that should be marked in red.
Cala Fonda (Tarragona)
Cala Fonda, also known as Waikiki, is a magical beach because of its setting and the difficulty of getting there, which is why it is still so unspoilt. You have to walk for a good handful of minutes from Playa Larga de Tarragona, along a pretty signposted path that allows you to stroll among natural vegetation and cliffs. It is in the Marquesa forest, which explains why you won’t hear a single noise coming from the big city.
La Llosa Beach (Cambrils)
In Cambrils, a tourist town that preserves its fishing past, anyone can relax on Playa de la Llosa, which is a little away from the most crowded areas (in Cambrils there is a lot of atmosphere in summer) and is well surrounded by restaurants (we recommend l’Escandall and L’Indret), beach bars and bars.
Beach of Santes Creus (L’Ametlla de Mar)
In l’Ametlla de Mar there are not few beach plans that one can make, and that is partly thanks to the beach of Santes Creus. It is completely unspoilt and highly recommended for snorkelling lovers. Its lagoon is part of the Plan for Protected Areas of Natural Interest, so it is not surprising that it is kept in very good condition.
Beach of San Salvador (El Vendrell)
Although the towns right next to El Vendrell have been taken over by tourism, the fishermen’s houses and the old summer houses still survive in this town, clinging to the beachfront despite the fact that many businessmen would like to build their hotels to change the future of the municipality.
