Tamariu, Costa Brava

Tamariu - Overview:

Tamariu lies in a small secluded bay between the towns of Begur and Palafrugel. Small coves set amongst rugged tree-lined cliffs, crystal clear water and beautiful beaches have made the area famous the world over for its beauty. Originally a small fishing village, Tamariu has not been over developed and has retained its identity and charm. There are some new villas and apartments on the edge of the village and like everywhere the village centre and beach gets busy in August, but you will find no high rise hotels or English pubs.

Tamariu - Atmosphere:

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!

Tamariu - Beaches:

Tamariu beach extends 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 main summer 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.

Tamariu - Out & About:

Just a few miles south from Tamariu, you will find the pretty village of Llafranc where again you will find an excellent beach, a small marina and a beautiful tree lined promenade with several excellent restaurants by the waterside.

There are simply so many beautiful places to visit but for those who feel less energetic you can just sit on Tamariu's beautiful beach and watch the world go by.

Tamariu - Getting there:

During the summer there are daily scheduled flights from London Stanstead airport to Gerona, less than 30 miles away and numerous daily flights all year round to Barcelona's International airport which is about a 2 hour drive from Tamariu.
