Have you ever read or watch “The Beach” with Leonardo DiCaprio? I had the same feeling when I arrived there.
Situated on the Costa Dorada (“Golden Coast”), these gorgeous beaches reachable by public transports are only 1 hour far from Barcelona, near Tarragona. A day trip there is a wonderful idea, and it is a real paradise for beach lovers. There are 2 beaches: the “Cala Fonda“ (also called by locals Waikiki Beach in honor of Hawaiian beach), and the “Cala de la Roca Plana“.
If you’re living in Barcelona, I guess you’re pissed off to hear each 5 minutes “CERVEZA BEER WATER!”. Because of the mass tourism, beaches in Barcelona city are terribly dirty and always super crowded. Waikiki or Roca Plana are for sure less invaded, so you can really enjoy a sunbath and relax. The water is blue, the golden sand is thin and it is a quiet place within a natural environment. Completely unspoiled, it gives an idea of how the Mediterranean looked like a century ago before it has been destroyed by building constructions.
Once you find them, you will not be disappointed, they are absolutely delightful.
