Guide
Good to know
Plan for shallow, calm water with gentle slope
The beach shelves gradually and has little wave action, making the depth suitable for wading considerable distances.
Take a long walk along the shore
The 3.5-kilometer beach allows a complete circuit in under an hour with views of Tamarit Castle and the river mouth.
Arrive early to secure parking
The lot fills by late morning during summer weekends, though early arrivals find spots easily.
Watch for loose rocks entering water
Stones cover the first few steps into the water, requiring foot protection for the first 3 to 4 steps.
Expect no showers or limited facilities
One shower exists and may need repairs; there are no footbaths, though some recent reports mention showers in operation.
