Playa El Miracle, Golden sand beach in Tarragona, Spain
Playa El Miracle is a golden sand beach stretching roughly 980 meters along the Mediterranean coast near Tarragona. The 20-meter-wide shoreline sits directly below coastal cliffs where ancient stone structures are visible above.
The beach sits below a Roman amphitheater built into the cliff during the 2nd century AD. This ancient structure shows how Tarragona served as a major Roman port and cultural center.
Located near the Tarragona National Archaeological Museum, the beach connects modern leisure with opportunities to explore Roman and medieval heritage sites.
The beach has lifeguards and basic facilities like showers and restrooms during summer months. The sandy area is easily accessible from the city center and provides what you need for a full day by the water.
Visitors can observe archaeological remains while swimming, as the beach sits directly below the Roman amphitheater built into the coastal cliff.
