Jovera Cove
Information
Cala Jovera is a beautiful small cove located near the impressive Tamarit Castle. Visitors rave about its clear blue waters and picturesque views, making it a highly recommended spot for a tranquil day by the sea. Here are some highlights:
- Stunning Scenery: Amazing views of the castle and surrounding cliffs.
- Great for Families: The shallow waters make it an ideal destination for children.
- Snorkeling Opportunities: Clear water allows for visibility of marine life (best during optimal conditions).
- Peaceful Ambiance: While it can get crowded in the summer, visiting early or during the off-season offers a relaxing experience.
However, there are a few drawbacks to consider:
- Access Issues: Parking is not available directly at the cove; visitors must park at a nearby campsite and walk about 10 minutes.
- Crowded in High Season: The cove can become quite packed, especially on weekends and in peak summer months.
- No Services: There are no amenities directly on the beach, which may be inconvenient for some.

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful place. There is time for walking, there are many paths along the cliffs, and a lovely view for the sunset.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful cove, it has a paid parking lot at 2.50 per hour, it also has a restaurant called Brisas, and if you eat there, they give you 3 hours free with a menu.
Negative experience: When we went, it was completely flooded and you could only sit on some rocks, there was no sand left. To get there, we walked quite a bit along a coastal path, and with no other beaches around, we had to walk all the way back.
Positive experience: Very small cove, it gets crowded. There is a paid parking nearby (€2.50/h).
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, very nice atmosphere, clean, there is a campsite nearby to park, and crystal clear waters, highly recommended.

Negative experience: When we went, it was completely flooded and you could only sit on some rocks, there was no sand left. To get there, we walked quite a bit along a coastal path, and with no other beaches around, we had to walk all the way back.
Positive experience: Excellent, cove with sand and a good view. Medium size. No services, parking is a 10-minute walk (there are services there). Good area for snorkeling or relaxing. Family-friendly.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, with sand mixed with round pebbles. The water is not very deep, ideal for children. Nice restaurants on the beach.
Negative experience: The path to get there is full of large stones and it is not maintained for access? Difficult for elderly people and cars with children, better the one at Camping Tamarit.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove with a lifeguard, small and with fine sand. It is rocky, so be careful in the rocky areas. Watch out for jellyfish. Great for snorkeling.

Fantastic experience: The cove is spectacular! The beach bar next door is terrible. The service is awful and the food is horrible. However, it is important to highlight the bad service and the poor behavior of the staff.
Fantastic experience: Small but very cool, paid parking at the campsite. No beach bar.
Fantastic experience: Super sauberes Wasser und der Strand ebenfalls. Absolut angenehmes Klima. Es gibt Bars, Restaurants, Live Musik, tolle Atmosphäre. Sehr zu empfehlen
Fantastic experience: Una cala bastante guapa, muy limpia con socorrista, algo pequeña y con algo de gente pero es genial, difícil acceso, no es complicado llegar pero tiene una bajada interesante, dejamos el coche en una urbanización que hay por encima, también se puede dejar en el camping que tiene un parking público, recomiendo llevar nevera ya que no hay chiringuito

Fantastic experience: It is a beautiful cove with clean and crystal-clear waters, it has a lifeguard and also has a lovely small cave. I believe it is also ideal for families with small children since there is a good stretch before reaching deep water. It is not accessible for people with reduced mobility.
Positive experience: A beautiful cove with a lifeguard during the high season and very nice views. There is no parking; you have to park in a parking lot that is before you arrive and pay, but the price is affordable for a morning or an afternoon.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove with a lifeguard, small and with fine sand. It is rocky, so be careful in the rocky areas. Watch out for jellyfish. Great for snorkeling.
Positive experience: It is not adapted but there is a lifeguard. The only downside is that there are quite a few rocks but it is very beautiful. There is a rock with caves and a castle that makes for a nice picture.

Fantastic experience: Great place, wild beach, cool views, clear water, highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, very nice atmosphere, clean, there is a campsite nearby to park, and crystal clear waters, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, with sand mixed with round pebbles. The water is not very deep, ideal for children. Nice restaurants on the beach.
Positive experience: A small cove, but absolutely beautiful. It gets crowded on weekends, which I think is the most uncomfortable part... But apart from that, the water is crystal clear and being able to visit the caves is amazing!
Fantastic experience: So beautiful, clean and nice beach!

Positive experience: Excellent, cove with sand and a good view. Medium size. No services, parking is a 10-minute walk (there are services there). Good area for snorkeling or relaxing. Family-friendly.
Positive experience: Nice but crowded. Maybe a little outside the season will be better. It's easy to get there by car/taxi.. no public transportation system. The Marati beach is right there that you can reach by walking. There is lifeguard supervision from August until 15/9. Nice beach, nice color, not so good for snorkeling, very family-friendly.. many kids.
Fantastic experience: It is a great cove to spend the day, it has crystal clear water ideal for snorkeling, it has several rocks of different heights for jumping and there are two caves a few meters away to hang out. I only recommend not going when there is a yellow or red flag.
Fantastic experience: Small cove, but when we were there, there was enough space for more people. We went in the afternoon and unfortunately at 6 there is little sun due to the orientation of the cove. You can park near the coastal path and take a 15-minute walk. Keep in mind that it's not advisable to walk in flip-flops because there are rocks and sometimes they can slip! We hope to return on a day with more wind to snorkel near the rocks.

Fantastic experience: For us, it is one of the best coves in the area. It is located next to the castle. Although it is very crowded during peak season since it is quite small, you can always go early in the day or in other months of the year to visit it. The long-distance trail passes above it. Impeccable waters. There is access by land leaving the car in the parking lot and by swimming from the beach. You can also see it from the kayak although you should not land since there is no space to approach with the kayak or paddleboard.
Positive experience: Una cala con un pequeño saliente donde hay como especies de cuevas , se puede hacer snorkel , kayak, etc, hay salvavidas hasta las 19h, hay un castillo muy lindo, a 5mn hay supermercado,parking hay que pagar 2€ la hora está bien, se llena rápido hay que ir temprano , se puede hacer senderismo
Positive experience: Cala con poco público debido a su falta de aparcamiento cercano. Se puede llegar a través del camí de Ronda caminando o en tabla/kayak por mar desde altafulla o playa de la Mora. Mucho acantilado ideal para hacer snorkel en su lado derecho y playa Altafulla en el izquierdo.
Jovera Cove: Reviews
Positive experience: the best beach, Tamarit, when you arrive via the coastal path from Tarragona, is the iconic image of the castle.
Fantastic experience: A very beautiful place. There is time for walking, there are many paths along the cliffs, and a lovely view for the sunset.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful cove, it has a paid parking lot at 2.50 per hour, it also has a restaurant called Brisas, and if you eat there, they give you 3 hours free with a menu.
Fantastic experience: Very large free space by the sea, unfortunately, bandits also come here to clear out motorhomes that are a bit off during the day. It’s best to always stand together with others. This reduces the danger. And introduce yourself to the neighbors.
Negative experience: A very nice place to relax and enjoy the sea
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, at the foot of the Tamarit castle, a must-see.
Negative experience: When we went, it was completely flooded and you could only sit on some rocks, there was no sand left. To get there, we walked quite a bit along a coastal path, and with no other beaches around, we had to walk all the way back.
Fantastic experience: I really liked a very cozy place
Positive experience: Very small cove, it gets crowded. There is a paid parking nearby (€2.50/h).

Fantastic experience: Great place, wild beach, cool views, clear water, highly recommended
Fantastic experience: The cove is spectacular! The beach bar next door is terrible. The service is awful and the food is horrible. However, it is important to highlight the bad service and the poor behavior of the staff.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, very nice atmosphere, clean, there is a campsite nearby to park, and crystal clear waters, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: The beach is small but it is very beautiful. Access is on foot, so you have to leave the car in one of the parking lots near the campgrounds. It is not very deep, and it is possible to walk up to waist or chest height while skirting the cliffs.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful cove with a dreamy landscape, very long explorables area along the cliffs. I recommend it despite being crowded in the summer like everywhere, prefer early afternoon to avoid the crowd...
Fantastic experience: A cove with charm and two sea entrances
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, with sand mixed with round pebbles. The water is not very deep, ideal for children. Nice restaurants on the beach.
Positive experience: The place is nice, crowded in mid-August. The cove is small and very busy, so there is little room to enjoy the space during holiday dates. I suppose outside of the season the space must be great. Access is a bit complicated.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beaches with lifeguard supervision, yes there are two small beaches. I preferred to park 150m away in a camping parking lot for €2.4 / hour with a maximum of €18 for the day. Access is a bit difficult for people with reduced mobility because there is a path of pebbles, but young children will be able to access it easily. Be careful, come early because the spots are expensive, and be careful ⚠️ not to get too close to the stone wall as they may fall.
Positive experience: Very beautiful small cove
Fantastic experience: A beautiful place, I hope to return soon.
Positive experience: A small cove, but absolutely beautiful. It gets crowded on weekends, which I think is the most uncomfortable part... But apart from that, the water is crystal clear and being able to visit the caves is amazing!
Fantastic experience: Small but very cool, paid parking at the campsite. No beach bar.
Fantastic experience: So beautiful, clean and nice beach!
Fantastic experience: A lot of people on the beach, but the scenery is very beautiful!
Positive experience: It's a great place, but the lifeguards won't let you jump from the rocks and you have to do it secretly. The place is a bit far from the parking lot, but it's definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: Excellent cove, easy to park (paid) with easy access, crystal clear water, ideal for bringing masks and observing fish and corals.
Negative experience: The path to get there is full of large stones and it is not maintained for access? Difficult for elderly people and cars with children, better the one at Camping Tamarit.

Fantastic experience: It is a beautiful cove with clean and crystal-clear waters, it has a lifeguard and also has a lovely small cave. I believe it is also ideal for families with small children since there is a good stretch before reaching deep water. It is not accessible for people with reduced mobility.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove, crystal clear waters and very calm if not too crowded. There is a walking path around and at the foot of the Tamarit castle. Ideal for spending the whole day.
Fantastic experience: Magnificent
Positive experience: A little small... but it's nice
Fantastic experience: I went by chance and it is a beautiful cove with few people and especially the clean water.
Positive experience: Great cove, unfortunately also very crowded during the afternoons even on weekdays
Fantastic experience: Small cove, but when we were there, there was enough space for more people. We went in the afternoon and unfortunately at 6 there is little sun due to the orientation of the cove. You can park near the coastal path and take a 15-minute walk. Keep in mind that it's not advisable to walk in flip-flops because there are rocks and sometimes they can slip! We hope to return on a day with more wind to snorkel near the rocks.
Fantastic experience: Very, very beautiful place. One could think that we are on an island with a beautiful castle nearby. It's worth seeing, it's worth doing. It's magnificent.
Positive experience: One of the best coves
Negative experience: there is no parking
Fantastic experience: Great beach to go with kids
Fantastic experience: A wonderful place, the downside is that parking is quite expensive.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful cove, quite crowded at peak time, but charming

Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove for walking and seeing the Ronda path.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove with a lifeguard, small and with fine sand. It is rocky, so be careful in the rocky areas. Watch out for jellyfish. Great for snorkeling.
Fantastic experience: Excellent cove
Positive experience: No more. It's nice but very small.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular place to see... It's a shame about the large influx of people during the summer months
Fantastic experience: Incredible place to disconnect, a beach that makes you believe you are on a lost island. It is true that each year it gets more crowded and is much less enjoyable, but there are days depending on the time, date, or something, where you can enjoy it very much.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful little double beach with a view of the castle! However, the beach is really small so come early if you want a spot.
Fantastic experience: It is essential to cross to the tombolo and see the caves that form. It is advisable to stay overnight at the campsite, which is quite affordable and has direct access to the cove.
Positive experience: It is not adapted but there is a lifeguard. The only downside is that there are quite a few rocks but it is very beautiful. There is a rock with caves and a castle that makes for a nice picture.
Positive experience: It's a really cool place
Fantastic experience: Magnificent cove
Positive experience: In May... and there was no more space... very small. Beautiful views of the castle and not much more.
Fantastic experience: excellent spot to take a bath, whether frequently or just passing through the area (as was my case). It has parking just a few meters away, €2.40/hour if I remember correctly.
Fantastic experience: A small and very quiet cove with a beautiful view of the castle. I recommend going to spend a quiet beach day as the sea is also calm.
Positive experience: Length: 90 m Width: 20 m Sand: Fine grain Sand cleanliness: Daily manual cleaning of the sand Access: Playa de la Móra, north direction / Playa de Tamarit, south direction Buses: http://emtanemambtu.cat Fixed Red Cross point: NO Emergency phone: 112 Remarks: Arrive by car - Camino Castell de Tamarit
Fantastic experience: The best beach! It has a castle! Blanca Bevià recommends it!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful views on a very simple and pleasant route to take
Fantastic experience: A nice, atmospheric place
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove for a nice swim. Now in low season, it's lovely to be here with peace and without crowds.
Positive experience: It's nice, but it doesn't have much space and if you're not one of the campers, it's really hard to park, at least in winter, because the parking for camping visitors is closed.
Fantastic experience: We woke up early to see the sunrise. Beautiful
Fantastic experience: Beach that appears in all the photos when promoting the Costa Daurada. It is in the Top 10 of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is a very small and crowded beach. I give it 5 stars for how beautiful it is, but in summer, the crowding makes it very stressful. Movies and commercials, including one for a well-known beer, have been filmed at this beach. Access to it is not comfortable. Snorkeling is also really cool in this area.
Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: For us, it is one of the best coves in the area. It is located next to the castle. Although it is very crowded during peak season since it is quite small, you can always go early in the day or in other months of the year to visit it. The long-distance trail passes above it. Impeccable waters. There is access by land leaving the car in the parking lot and by swimming from the beach. You can also see it from the kayak although you should not land since there is no space to approach with the kayak or paddleboard.
Fantastic experience: We adore
Positive experience: Beautiful cove and worth it, be careful to park before the campsite as it is not accessible by car.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach and a lovely view! I don't know why Google sometimes says that you need to follow a path that can be more complicated, but you can easily get there from Tamarit.
Negative experience: Inaccessible by car. They don't let you park anywhere. It seems to be for the use of those staying at the campsite only.
Fantastic experience: After the season, few people, very calm and atmospheric place.
Positive experience: Beautiful cove with views of the Tamarit castle. Acceptably simple access.
Fantastic experience: I love Altafulla, it is a pity with the tourist exploitation that is not taken into account. When I walk by the sea, I look at the pebbles, my eyes drink in the microplastics. It makes me very sad to see that we throw everything away; we have so much everywhere but our eyes no longer drink anything. And if I walk through the interior paths, it's the same. We have become consumers of planet Earth and this is going to end soon. We are the worst species, we have learned nothing. The bins are empty, we are sick, there is no remedy for us. No matter how many rules and sanctions they impose on us, we don’t care. Our coast and land are so beautiful.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove!
Fantastic experience: A quiet and charming cove
Fantastic experience: Spectacular views, a clean and pleasant cove, there is a lot of marine life to enjoy.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, clear water and surrounded by a lovely landscape
Fantastic experience: A wonder⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful cove, very quiet and easily accessible.
Fantastic experience: We were really looking forward to being at that cove, and today we finally managed to do it, beautiful!!! Small, but very charming, and due to the dates, almost empty, it was a luxury to be able to enjoy that place for a few hours.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches on this side of Spain!!
