Platja de Tamariu

Platja de Tamariu is a sandy beach in the southern part of Palafrugell with a 180-meter shoreline and soft golden sand. Along the shore stands a promenade lined with Mediterranean pine trees and restaurant terraces.

This location began as a small fishing village and transformed into a leisure destination in the early 1900s as tourism developed along Costa Brava. The shift from a working harbor to a recreational seaside spot shaped its modern character.

The beach serves as a meeting place where people gather for extended meals at waterfront restaurants, keeping alive the Catalan custom of spending leisurely afternoons by the sea with family and friends. This daily ritual shapes the rhythm of life here during warm months.

The beach has showers, restrooms, and lifeguard coverage during the swimming season from June through September, with boat rentals and sailing lessons available. Visitors arriving outside this window should know these services will not be in operation.

The sheltered cove creates natural swimming conditions with gentle waves and clear water that earn regular Blue Flag certifications. This award reflects consistently high water quality and environmental standards at this location.
