Tamariu: The Tiny Town That’s Big on Natural Beauty
A Hidden Gem on the Costa Brava
Nestled along the rugged Costa Brava coastline in northeastern Spain, Tamariu is a quaint fishing village that feels like a well-kept secret. With its unspoiled natural surroundings, crystal-clear waters, and relaxed Mediterranean charm, Tamariu is the perfect destination for those seeking tranquility, authenticity, and breathtaking scenery.
Far from the buzz of crowded tourist hotspots, this small town offers a big reward to anyone who makes the journey. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a peaceful family holiday, or a rejuvenating solo retreat, Tamariu is where nature, culture, and serenity intertwine.
Turquoise Waters and Secluded Coves
One of Tamariu’s most captivating features is its coastline. The main beach, Platja de Tamariu, is a beautiful, crescent-shaped bay framed by pine-covered cliffs. Its calm, shallow waters make it ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. The nearby coves, such as Aigua Xelida and Cala Pedrosa, offer even more seclusion and are accessible by coastal hiking paths or boat — perfect for explorers and lovers of the sea.
A Taste of Local Life
Tamariu may be small, but it boasts a selection of charming seaside restaurants, cozy cafés, and local shops. The promenade is alive with the gentle hum of conversation and the scent of freshly grilled seafood. You can enjoy a delicious paella by the sea, sip on a cold glass of cava, and watch the sunset over the Mediterranean — a moment that feels like a scene from a postcard.
Nature Trails and Outdoor Adventures
The surrounding area offers some of the best hiking on the Costa Brava. The Camí de Ronda coastal path leads to dramatic viewpoints, hidden beaches, and scenic picnic spots. For those who love nature and photography, the blend of rugged cliffs, turquoise sea, and green forests provides endless inspiration.
Ideal for Families and Couples Alike
Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or a partner, Tamariu is wonderfully accommodating. Its safe, sandy beach and peaceful atmosphere make it a top choice for families, while its romantic setting and intimate scale appeal to couples seeking a quiet escape.
