Salou, on the Costa Dorada, nestles between quaint Cambrils and calm La Pineda. Just seven miles south of elegant Tarragona, the compact resort town is a family favorite, due in no small part to the existence of Port Aventura and Aquopolis theme parks. Gentle beaches and a slew of exciting fiestas in August add to Salou's appeal for families.

I absolutely loved this park, the staff were lovely, the rides were incredible and the atmosphere was great!
Let’s start with the theme park aspect of it, the rides, theming and atmosphere are amazing- shambhala being my number 1 roller coaster to date, everything about most of the rides is great, the park even giving backstory to all the rides and giving the rides purpose of being where they are. Everything was open and operating and, although operations were slightly slow, on my second day I purchased an express-pass for a reasonable price (€48) for unlimited fast track rides, comparing this to my local park which offers unlimited fast passes for £50 with a far inferior quality ride selection. The park is always full of life and atmosphere and it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful a park can be. This cannot really be said for its neighbouring park, Ferrari Land, only a few months after opening was completely empty, in the span of 3 or so hours I got on everything multiple times. They do however have buildings with beautiful Italian architecture but this cannot make up for how empty the park feels. They should also consider combining the parks into one as this does not really work as an up charge park, overall me and my dad payed 120 for a two day pass for both parks, a pretty good price for a 2 day pass for both parks, but I think they should just bump up the normal price and give access to Ferrari Land as standard, this along with a few other points turned my score from a 5/5 to a 4/5.
I’ve read some other reviews that talk about the staff and how terrible they were but for my visit they were great, not a single problem with them.
My only problem with the main park is the food, we ate At the cantina in the Mexico section of the park and it was average at best, our chicken lunch at Ferrari World was much better, the entertainment in the cantina was amusing however but got slightly boring and repetitive part way through. Never get a slushie at this park as well because the calippo slushies are garbage to say the least.
Overall I love this park, the theming and rides are lovely and the overall experience is one I will truly never forget, only Ferrari Land and the food could put a slight damper on my visit and even then it is one of my very favourite theme parks.

This beach is ok but just ok; it is reached by a walk down a hill road( or path); then one has to walk back up the hill at the end of the day, armed with all one`s beach paraphernalia; not much fun! The beach is narrow and rocky at both ends. If one has been billeted to one of the nearby hotels by one`s Tour Operator, then one must just lump it. However for those in hotels or Apartments in that area, I would suggest Capellans beach as being more suitable( although that still entails a small hill walk)

The Avenida comprises several parallel tracks - a normal bidirectional roadway for motorvehicles - a cycleway - a wide pedestrianised walkway (now with concrete bollards to prevent ingress of vehicles) and a further, separate walkway leading on to the beach.
An easy stroll on the fat, suitable for people of all ages.

This is a lovely place to walk around. See the red stone walls, copper coloured, water lapping up into little caves along the rock. Walk along the boardwalk and look out to see, look across the landscape to the beautiful views. On a night time it's all well lit, very popular with the locals. Lots of bars and restaurants to stop off at.

Lovely long clean sandy beach. Gorgeous place to walk. Sea clean clear and warm
Nice long Promenade to walk along down to Marina area. So peaceful first thing I. The morning and in the evenings.
Would recommend area and this beach really is beautiful and one of the nicest I have visited in Spain.

Very busy when we visited on a Sunday morning...accessing it via the lovely coastal walkway from the hurley burley of the centre of Salou. All the facilities are there..and a beach cafe if you don’t want to lie on the sand.

We visited this beach on a day that was slightly cloudy in mid September, on a sunny day I bet it's better. It's location meant that the sun hides behind the headland until near lunch time so I personally felt it didnt feel as warm as Platja Llarga beach nearby, however it was clean had a little beach bar where you could hire beds/parasols etc. There are no water sports here and I'm guessing it's used mainly by locals. Like Platja Llarga beach there is a rather steep slope/steps to get down to the beach, all in all a nice place to spend a few hours but I preferred Llarga.

Most likely it will involve a small walk to get here but believe me it is worth it. At the weekends it can be quite busy but during the week it was very quiet.
There are clean toilets, a cool bar which serves drink and plays music all day and best off all some serious landscape eye candy.
We stayed in cap Salou and spent everyday on this beach. Sun loungers cost €5 a day and the parasol is €7. If you like peace and quiet and a cool vibe this is the beach for you. Plenty of locals which is normally a good sign. Stop off in the supermarket before you go and bring a picnic
