A perfect base for exploring the Costa Brava

The bay at Tamariu may be home to just a few houses, villas, apartments, restaurants and bars, but you won’t be far away from various faster-paced towns if you do want to mix things up once you arrive in the area. Nonetheless, the fact Tamariu is so quiet is a big part of why so many people decide to visit and even stay in the area permanently. Its beach has Blue Flag status.

Even in January, you can expect to enjoy a considerable number of bright, mild days. Tamariu has been popular with Catalans travelling up from Barcelona for many years and is widely agreed to have one of the most pleasant beaches in this part of the world. Many people enjoy lunch under the pine trees behind the beach before unwinding on the sand and taking a swim in the Mediterranean Sea.
