Tamariu: Guide
Tamariu, Spain, is situated about 70 miles south of the border of France in a tranquil and secluded bay between the nearby towns of Palafrugell and Begur. This is the Costa Brava at its finest.
Small coves set amongst rugged pine covered cliffs cascading down to meet the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea have made the area famous for its outstanding beauty. Simple village houses and pavement cafes surround a lovely beach in a sheltered bay - it is this special kind of magic that entices people back year after year.
Originally a small fishing village, Tamariu has not been over developed and has easily retained its individuality and charm. Some new villas and apartments have been creatively blended with the traditional architecture but there are no high rise blocks, no English pubs and certainly no English cafes!
South facing on to one of the most sheltered beaches of the Costa Brava, you will find three small hotels and some small cafes & bars where you can relax and where you can relax and enjoy a drink and some of the local Catalan cuisine. The beach itself, extending nearly all around the bay is very clean and nearly all fine golden sand. The crystal clear water is ideal for swimming as the beach, especially on the right hand side, shelves at a fairly gentle angle. During the season, you can rent various sailing boats, pedaloes and canoes.
The waters around this area are believed to be the purest on the coast and there are many other beautiful beaches within easy reach. Just a few miles north you will find the Cape of Begur with the beaches of Fornells, Sa Tuna, Sa Riera and the never to be forgotten scenery of Aigua Blava. This area consists of a huge geological mass dropping down to the sea in vertical cliffs and because of the height of the mountains and the density of the pine tree cover, the whole area has immense natural beauty.
It is a wonderful place to visit - accommodation ranges from camping and hotels to self-catering apartments and villas.
