Characteristics published by official sources

Surrounded by vegetation and natural boundaries, Playa Cala Crancs occupies a small semi-urban cove of golden sand in Salou. Its 80-metre length and average width of 40 metres, together with calm waters and medium occupancy, create a sheltered setting facing an anchorage area. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the coastal road; parking is limited to fewer than 50 spaces and an interurban bus stop is 500 metres away. Specific services include adapted toilets, showers, catering and hire of sun loungers, parasols and nautical equipment.
