It’s not surprising Costa Dorada means ‘golden coast’. The brilliant beaches here are to die for, and more than 26 of them have a Blue Flag planted in the grains for cleanliness. You’ve got rocky coves and verdant headlands to explore by these staggering bronzed stretches too.
If you’re looking for a laid-back vibe, Cambrils is ideal, with scenic walks and soft sandy beaches on offer. La Pineda has the PortAventura adventure park on the doorstep, packed with legendary rollercoasters and six worlds to discover. And Cap Salou’s all cosy coves this and relaxed dining that. Whereas Salou’s a vibrant mix of family fun and lively nightlife.
With plenty of cities just a stone’s throw from this Costa, you’ll never be short of exploring opportunities. Don’t miss Tarragona’s wealth of Roman ruins or the interesting architecture in Gaudí’s hometown of Reus. Barcelona’s close too, which makes for a perfect day trip.
From waterparks to theme parks and palm-lined promenades to sun-bleached beaches, Salou holidays are a dreamy pick for an exciting Spanish coastal adventure.
Classic Cambrils is easy on the eye and a definite palate-pleaser.
Sun, sand, and soaring rollercoasters – Cap Salou has a brilliantly balanced recipe for good times.
Experience thrilling rollercoasters and absorb Catalan culture on the coast of rural Spain.
One of the golden coast’s longest beaches sits pretty in La Pineda, plus there are various patches that surfers rate highly too.
Okay, so it’s not the real Miami, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be stuck for things to do. There’s oodles of space to relax on these sands, plus loads of water sports to try out.
If you fancy mixing coastlines with culture, the relaxing shores of Roda de Barà should do the trick.
If squeezing in the sights is just as important as soaking up the sun, the Catalan city of Tarragona will be right up your street.
For family fun, water sports in Salou and Cap Salou are excellent – especially if you’re a thrill seeker! Out of the way, you’ll even stumble across unblemished beaches which are surrounded by woodlands just a few kilometres from Tarragona. If it’s golden coast you’re after, this is the place.
