Everything you need to know about our favourite corner of the Costa Dorada. Beaches, restaurants, transport, and things to do.
Cap Salou sits on a rocky cape with hidden coves and a stunning coastal path. The main beach is a short walk away.
A natural stretch of golden sand backed by a small pine forest. One of the best beaches on the Costa Dorada: calm water, rarely overcrowded, and beautiful at sunset. Accessible via the coastal path.
View on Google Maps →A pedestrian and cycling path runs along the sea at the bottom of the residence. Follow it in either direction to discover rocky coves, viewpoints, and small beaches. The full walk to Salou centre takes about 30 minutes along the coast.
Several small rocky calas are scattered along the cape, perfect for snorkelling or a quiet swim away from the crowds. Crystal-clear water and hardly any people, even in August.
