A few steps from the campsite is the Platja Llarga de Tarragona, one of the longest beaches, quiet and well preserved throughout the Costa Dorada. With more than 3 kilometers long and surrounded by a lush Mediterranean pine forest, this beach is a real natural paradise where you can disconnect from the daily rhythm and immerse yourself in the calm of the sea.

Unlike other urban beaches, Platja Llarga is characterized by its low level of occupation, even in high season, which makes it the perfect place for those seeking sun, silence and space. The waters are clean, shallow and with gentle waves, ideal for both children and adults who want to swim in complete safety. The slope is progressive, allowing you to walk several meters into the sea without losing your footing.

In addition, its ecological value is protected by a strip of pine forest and native vegetation that separates it from the road, offering natural shade and a cool microclimate throughout the day. Many families choose this beach precisely because of this perfect balance between wild nature and comfort. There are no large buildings or developments around, just the sea, the sand and the forest.

From the campsite itself you have direct access to the beach without having to cross roads, which guarantees safety for the little ones and a comfortable experience for everyone. In the morning, you can go barefoot from your plot or bungalow and in a few steps you will be walking on the sand; in the afternoon, relax with the sound of the waves or practice activities such as walking along the shore, yoga at sunset or simply read under the pines.

Platja Llarga is not just a place to sunbathe, it is a style of vacation: relaxed, natural, unhurried. And that is exactly what Camping Platja Llarga offers: the possibility of reconnecting with the essential in an environment that still preserves the essence of the Mediterranean.

Just 10 minutes from Camping Platja Llarga is Tarragona, a city that surprises for its harmony between ancient history, Mediterranean life and modern atmosphere. Former capital of the Roman province of Hispania Citerior, Tarragona preserves one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe, declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2000.

Walking through the old town of Tarragona is to go back more than two thousand years in time: the visitor can walk along Roman walls that are still standing, contemplate the grandeur of the Roman amphitheater by the sea, stroll through the forum of the colony or admire the remains of the Roman circus, whose vaults and passages are still visitable under the current urban fabric. All this in an environment that is well cared for, accessible and perfectly signposted for those who wish to discover history at their own pace.

But Tarragona is not only its Roman legacy. At the top of the city, over ancient imperial temples, stands the Cathedral of Santa Tecla, a majestic temple of transition between Romanesque and Gothic that dominates the Part Alta, the historic heart of the city. Around it, cobblestone streets, squares with terraces and pastel-colored buildings form a charming network of bars, local stores, artists’ studios and restaurants with their own identity.

Beyond the old town, Tarragona offers a wide promenade, the Balcony of the Mediterranean, from where one of the most famous views of the Catalan coastline can be seen. From there you can follow the daily life of the city: its commercial port and marina, its urban beaches such as Miracle or l’Arrabassada, or its Rambla Nova, the main artery of Tarragona’s life.

Those staying at Camping Platja Llarga have the possibility to visit Tarragona in just a few minutes, either by car or by public transport. It is an ideal getaway to combine beach, nature and culture. In addition, throughout the year, the city hosts cultural events and festivals that are worth discovering: from the Tarragona Easter, to the Tarraco Viva Festival, the Concurs de Castells, or the emblematic festivities of Santa Tecla in September.

Tarragona is a city that can be experienced with all five senses: history under your feet, art in every corner, the smell of the sea, Mediterranean flavor in its dishes and that leisurely pace that only cities by the sea preserve. From Camping Platja Llarga, to visit Tarragona is to open a door to centuries of history… and to return in less time than a rooster crows to have dinner on the grill next to the forest.
