Salou
A family resort strip where beach repetition, promenade ease, and PortAventura access carry more weight than old-town texture.
Salou works best when the holiday runs on broad sand, short seafront walks, and easy repetition rather than on searching for hidden variety.

Best Costa Dorada beaches by the day you want
Not every Costa Dorada beach solves the same problem. Some work as city add-ons, others as broad family anchors, and others as quieter long-stay answers.
