Los Capellanes beach, actually known as Platja dels Capellans, is located in the heart of the urban area of Salou, Tarragona. It is a small, cozy sandy cove nestled north of Playa de Levante and offers calm waters and a safe environment for families and swimmers. The beach is known for its fine golden sand, crystal-clear waters, and scenic surroundings, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing and scuba diving due to the underwater caves and rock formations nearby. The area is surrounded by pine trees, adding to its natural beauty and tranquility. While it provides various amenities, it is a quieter spot compared to other beaches in the area.
Platja dels Capellans in l'Ampolla, on the other hand, offers small stones and urban views, easy access for families, and good sea views. However, the beach in Salou remains more popular for its serene and natural environment. The promenade near the Salou version connects to other local beaches, featuring sculptures and water fountains, making it a charming place for leisurely strolls.
Overall, both locations offer unique experiences depending on the visitor's preference for tranquility or urban convenience.
