Platja de l'Arboçar Beach

This cosy little beach is about as off the beaten track as it gets. 

You’ll find it just a 20-minute drive away from Tarragona, but to reach the actual sands, you’ll need to park up a couple of minutes’ away and finish the journey on foot.

When you reach the golden sands in this secluded little cove though, it’s well worth the extra effort. The water’s calm and crystal clear, and the sands are a mere 200-metre stretch of soft, caramel-coloured, powder-fine paradise.

There are no facilities here, so you’ll need to take your own supplies for the day. And it’s worth noting that the beach is a ‘clothing optional’ spot, so expect to see a few nudists here.
