Platja de Llenguadets, Golden sand beach in Salou, Spain
Platja de Llenguadets is a 60-metre-long urban beach in Salou, between the punta del Lari to the east, which separates it from Platja Llarga, and the punta de Porroig to the west, which separates it from Platja dels Capellans. It is made of fine golden sand with a gentle slope into the water and averages 33 metres in width.
The beach became a bathing spot as Salou transformed from a fishing village into a coastal resort town during the mid-20th century. This growth opened up the local shoreline for both visitors and residents to enjoy.
This beach serves as a gathering place where local families spend summer evenings by the sea, enjoying time together in a relaxed setting. It remains an important part of daily coastal life for residents of Salou.
The only way in is on foot along the camí de ronda, the coastal path linking the beach to Platja Llarga past the punta del Lari and to Platja dels Capellans past the punta de Porroig. On site there are showers, a first-aid point and a kiosk, with parasols and sun loungers for hire. Winter storms regularly strip the sand, which the environment ministry replaces with sand brought from Platja de Ponent.
The beach is bounded by two points of rock: Punta del Lari to the east, separating it from Platja Llarga, and Punta de Porroig to the west, separating it from Platja dels Capellans. Winter storms regularly carry off its sand, which the environment ministry replaces with sand moved from Platja de Ponent.
