Fantastic experience: Para mi esta playa es de las mejores que hay cerca del casco urbano de Tgna, sin embargo me parece vergonzoso que adecuen una zona para perros, lo cuál me parece súper bien, que haya socorrista, más que bien.. pero no hay ni una ducha... ninguna fuente de agua potable o no, para ducharse... y estoy segura que llegaría al M15 y seguría sin encontrar ninguna... Vergonzoso. Por lo demás la playa es muy guay, agua cristalina, arena fina y normalmente sin oleaje, buen ambiente y tranquilo
Negative experience: Ni siquiera al borde de la arena sin usar la playa ni mucho menos el agua se puede acceder con perro pequeño.....bajo amenaza de policía y multa....igual que en Europa....UNA GRAN PENA....DESACONSEJADO TOTALMENTE PARA VUESTRAS MASCOTAS......
Fantastic experience: El único sitio donde anmiten perros bale la pena

Fantastic experience: It's spectacular. I love this beach, it has a very convenient location, plenty of space to park for free and even some shaded areas. The parking is just 10 steps from the beach, there are beach bars, restaurants, and restrooms. On both sides, there are well-kept campgrounds that I haven't visited yet, but I plan to this summer. The sand is very fine, the water is super clean and warm. There's a lifeguard 100 meters away. I love this beach, I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Siamo stati in questo campeggio qualche giorno. Un campeggio piccolo comunque pulito ed è molto ombreggiato, personale ospitale e gentile. Da un piccolo sottopassaggio arrivi alla spiaggia con un mare stupendo!! É vicino alla strada e al treno ma non siamo stati per niente disturbati (ottima anche la sicurezza). Abbiamo cenato al ristorante del campeggio, super ! Assolutamente da provare!!!

Fantastic experience: Una playa familiar, amplia, con muy buena calidad de la arena, donde es sencillo tener sitio en primera fila de playa Servicios de duchas, socorristas, muchos chiringuitos a lo largo de la playa... Tampoco hay excesivas olas por lo que para niños es ideal Aparcar no es complicado, hay bastantes sitios.
Positive experience: Nos situamos frente a Sardineta para disfrutar de sus manjares. A última hora nos deleitaron con música de chillout. Playa muy larga, de arena fina, sin piedras ni rocas al entrar. No masificada. Aparcamiento relativamente fácil. Socorristas. Baños (aunque no muy limpios). Pongo 4* ya que el agua la he visto más limpia en otras playas, no obstante está muy bien. Muy recomendable por todos los servicios que tiene.

Fantastic experience: Un lugar increíble para quienes aman el snorkel. El agua es clara y se pueden ver pequeños peces cerca de las rocas. El entorno es natural y bien cuidado, lo que lo convierte en un rincón muy especial. No había mucho ruido, así que la sensación de tranquilidad fue total. Recomendable 100 %.
Fantastic experience: Playa preciosa, muy poco explotada urbanisticamente, con aguas muy limpias. Recomendable un buen paseo por la orilla e incluso esnorquel por la zona de rocas
Fantastic experience: Preciosa y gran playa de aguas cristalinas que en épocas pasadas fue cantera romana (zona norte), cuyos restos pueden verse con facilidad. Dispone en verano de los servicios necesarios: duchas, socorristas, chiringuitos y locales de restauración. También hay campings que quedan a pie de playa. La arena es fina, con presencia de rocas en sus extremos. Ideal para hacer snorkel porque hay bastante vida. En su extremo norte se encuentra el Bosque de La Marquesa, un precioso pinar que en verano es escenario de conciertos de cigarras, cuyas mudas de piel pueden verse en los troncos de los árboles. Dicho bosque lleva a las conocidas calas naturistas Fonda (o Waikiki) y Calabeig (o Roca Plana), siendo esta última un embarcadero natural usado por los romanos en tiempos de Tarraco.

Fantastic experience: Tot i no haver recuperat encara (gener 2021) tota l'amplada, en aquests miments ja es practicable de punta a punta i ha tornar a esdevenir un lloc per la pràctica d'activitat física i cultural. Tenint en compte els diferents punts d'interés d'aquest entorn i el fet de ser punt opcional de pas pera diverses caminades.

Fantastic experience: The best beach for a family with kids! In summer it's not so crowded and has all the infrastructure: showers, cafe and shops (upstairs). Shallow and sandy sea shore with warm water - all you need for the joy of kids.
Positive experience: Tarragona city beach. Definitely the longest. It is also the most natural, the water is calm and very clear, it is an ideal place for a family vacation surrounded by pine forests, camping fields and a seaside path connecting various picturesque corners. There are plenty of free parking spaces, but they fill up quickly during the summer season and it's hard to find something. The water quality is ideal and it is the perfect beach for families because it is not too deep.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with parking next door. Natural and great for walking / swimming.
Fantastic experience: Many good restaurants and nice beach
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place to linger
Fantastic experience: It has always been the most beautiful beach in Tarragona, there are beach bars, camping, restaurants, a pine forest; it has it all.
Positive experience: Great beach to spend the day. Very peaceful. It is a bit secluded and there are hardly any beach bars or restaurants nearby, but it has the advantage of being quieter than others in the area. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to find parking. There are usually vans or caravans of people who spend the night there.
Negative experience: The beach is very nice for a walk with a dog in winter. Unfortunately, our car was broken into when we returned, even though we were parked in the regular parking lot, and we were not alone in this. The police are aware that the parking lot is known for car break-ins. So, don't leave anything in the car at all. Therefore, only 2 stars.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and long beach that hides a wonderful forest when walking east.
Fantastic experience: The most natural beach in the city of Tarragona where the water is super crystal clear. It's where the most fish go, and even some rays like in the video.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. Along the promenade you can find different beach bars, a bar, some areas with picnic tables (next to the beach), it's nice... Although personally, I still prefer small beaches.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, as its name suggests, very long and that makes it peaceful. Fine sand and crystal clear water.
Fantastic experience: a very quiet place to spend the day, the sand is very fine and there is a great distance without much depth
Fantastic experience: It's perfect for kids because it's very clean and takes a long time to cover. The only drawback is that it only has 2 restaurants and there's no beach bar to grab something.
Fantastic experience: Beach belonging to the network of beaches in the city of Tarragona. It is undoubtedly the longest, hence its name. It is also the most natural, surrounded by pine forests, campsites, and a scenic path that connects different picturesque points. There are countless free parking options, but during the summer season, it fills up quickly. The water quality is perfect, and it is an ideal beach for families as it is not very deep.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful soft sandy beach.

Fantastic experience: Warm, shallow, clean water! Smooth sand and lots of space. Parking is free and busy, but come on, the best beach near BCN!
Fantastic experience: Great beach so close to Tarragona!! If you like hiking, there is a path at the end of the beach (north) that goes to some other wilder little beaches.
Fantastic experience: Great place and really calm water
Fantastic experience: A lovely beach, narrow but long. Great for running early in the morning before the crowds in the summer. The rest of the year you pretty much have it to yourself.
Positive experience: I may be spoiled by much more beautiful beaches... So this is just standard Mediterranean. Lots of sun and no shadow. Train passing by. Amenities: showers, some bars, free parking lot, safe guards.
Positive experience: Very nice, cosy beach. Not highly commercialized, but a little more authentic and natural. There seem to be more locals than tourists. It's a long beach, but very slim though. Don't sit to close to the water, I've seen towels and bags get soaked during high tide.
