Platja de Riumar

Platja de Riumar is a sandy beach with fine golden sand along the Catalan Mediterranean coast, extending over several kilometers. The shallow waters and continuous sediment deposits from the Ebro River create a dynamic shoreline that changes gradually over time.

The beach was created over thousands of years as the Ebro River deposited sediment along the Mediterranean coast, building up the shoreline gradually. This natural process shaped not only the beach itself but the entire delta landscape that defines the region today.

The area has deep roots in fishing culture, with local fishermen using traditional methods that continue to shape community life. Their daily catch directly influences the regional food tradition and what restaurants serve to visitors.

The beach has showers and restrooms available, with lifeguards posted during summer for swimmer safety and supervision. Equipment rental areas for water sports are designated on the sand if you want to try activities like paddling or windsurfing.

The beach sits within the Ebro Delta Natural Park, where flamingos and other water birds feed in shallow waters just offshore. Bird watching here is particularly rewarding during autumn and winter when migratory species arrive in large numbers.
