Located close to Salou, Cambrils offers a quieter vibe – retaining its charm as a traditional fishing village.
Beautiful beaches abound here with nine blue flag beaches to choose from including La Pineda Beach – and water sports such as windsurfing and kite surfing.
There are still nightlife spots but it’s not as lively as Salou – and the focus is more on eating out with many great restaurants on offer.
Book a week’s self catering holiday and flights to Cambrils this June from £116pp with On the Beach or from £153pp with Love Holidays.
Miami Playa
