Llarga Beach<br>
The Llarga Beach is one of the more fine-looking beaches to be found in Salou . The 600-meter coast is lined with attractive pine trees providing this beach a finicky ambience. It is a fairly lengthy stretch, as its name suggests, but still maintains the feel of a smaller beach. It has not been developed like many of the foremost beaches in Salou and so it still has a natural feel to it. It is furnished with essential facilities, but not in an overloaded sense which would somehow ruin the natural vibe that it strives to achieve. This beach may be reached by going through Replanells Street, off the Salou - Tarragona coast road.
Playa Larga
