Cambrils

Town

Cambrils is the Costa Dorada’s fishing port turned easy-going resort — a working harbour and marina, long sandy beaches, and a reputation as the coast’s gastronomic capital.

Region: Tarragona Province: Tarragona, Catalonia Type: Fishing port & resort Known for: Seafood Neighbour: Salou

Why visit Cambrils

Cambrils pairs a still-active fishing harbour with a relaxed resort. The boats that tie up at its marina land the catch that fills its celebrated seafood restaurants — locals call it the gastronomic capital of the Costa Dorada — while long, gently shelving beaches and a palm-lined promenade run either side of the port. Quieter and more grown-up than neighbouring Salou.
