Explore the promenade 

Apart from sunbathing on the beaches there is a lot more to do in Cambrils. It is known for its pleasant promenade and is full of interesting things. It goes all the way to Salou and gives a great view of the Costa Dorada. Along the promenade there are many statues and monuments such as the Pino Redondo, an enormous tree that is centuries old. The Faro Rojo (the red lighthouse) is also well known in Cambrils and is located on the pier of the fishing port. 
 
During your stay in Cambrils, this promenade will definitely become one of your favourite spots. There is nothing better than feeling the sea breeze on your face, while you watch the sun set beyond the horizon. One recommendation for traveling with kids is to discover the promenade by bike, roller skates or Segway. There is a bike path which makes it easy and safe to move through the area. There are many restaurants, little shops and ice cream parlours parallel to the promenade. 
 
The promenade is also a popular location for events and festivals. For example, each year during summer the Cambrils Street Art festival takes place. There are musical and comedy performances as well as circuses. It feels like a real theatre, the only difference is that you are sat outside!

Sports and new activities with the family

Apart from relaxing under the sun, there is a lot more to do at the beach such as paddle surfing, kayaking, water skiing and even windsurfing. You can also go on a trip, on a banana boat or a regular boat. If you want to enjoy the clear water and the beautiful seabed, we can definitely recommend snorkelling in this area. 
 
The promenade lends itself for a bike tour on a sunny day. Discover almost 20 kilometres of beautiful views and monuments! In case you are less active, then a trip on the El Trenet mini train might be perfect for you. It is a local touristic train that offers various sightseeing routes around the area. One of the routes runs next to the promenade, another one through the old centre and another one runs past a market space, where a weekly market is held every Wednesday. On board the train you can enjoy the cool sea breeze and breathtaking views of the monument of the Sanctuary of Mare de Déu del Camí, that dates from the 18th century, as well as the medieval tower of Ermita which is also very special as it is home to the historical museum of Cambrils.
