An absolute picturesque beach up the Costa Brava. Tamariu is about an hour and a half outside of Barcelona and it's worth the drive. With crystal clear water, this gorgeous seaside town is a perfect weekend getaway, or even a few day adventure for those looking for a serene few days surrounded by water, tasty restaurants and a beautiful coastline. Tamariu is a small beach, so be sure to go early in order to get a spot. There are a few hotels and apartments that you can rent, which is well worth it if you have a few days to spare.
