Beaches & Coves
The main beach, Platja Gran, features soft sand and clear waters, perfect for families and sunbathers. To the south lies the historic cove Lliris with a traditional fishermen's hut, while the secluded rocky cove Cala d’Aigua Dolça in the north invites relaxation. Only accessible by water, the untouched Cala d’Aigua Xelida is a true Costa Brava gem. Along the coastal path, you'll also find the charming Cala Pedrosa with picturesque surroundings and additional historic fishing houses.
Traditions & Events
A cultural highlight is the annual Cantada d’Havaneres on the first Saturday of September. This traditional sea shanty event on Platja Gran brings maritime traditions to life and attracts visitors from across the region.
Local Charm & Nature
The name "Tamariu" comes from the tamarisks lining the promenade. The combination of white houses, sandy beaches, and Mediterranean vegetation creates a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Numerous small paths between the houses and beaches invite leisurely strolls. Tamariu is the perfect destination for those seeking peace, nature, and the unspoiled beauty of the Costa Brava.
