It is accessible by car and has a bar, security service, showers and toilets. The entrance to the sea is not very steep and Santes Creus, located in the city of Tarragona. It is one of the beaches of the settlement of l’Ametlla de Mar.
Fonda Cove or Waikiki Beach, Tamarit
The most spectacular of Tarragona. A paradisiacal beach in every sense of the word. Better known as Waikiki Beach, like the one in Honolulu.

Cap Roig, L’Ampolla.
This beach is one of the most emblematic of the coast of L’Ampolla, both for the ease of access on foot or by car, fine golden sand that contrasts with the natural environment.

Torn, L’Hospitalet de l’Infant.
