Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Llarga combines 600 metres of golden sand with a semi-urban setting of dunes and pine trees. Its relationship with the urban and hotel complex associated with Port Aventura-Universal Studios is its most recognisable feature, while the promenade and vegetation accompany calm waters. The stated access is on foot, with an interurban bus connection between Salou and Tarragona. For a comfortable stay it offers catering, hire of sun loungers and parasols, and nautical services.
