•What do our holidaymakers think of La Pineda? “We have travelled to La Pineda for the past 15 years because the beach is beautiful and the water clear and clean. The beach is cleaned every night and is very safe for young children. As an English couple, we always go to Gordon's Bar which is just off the sea front and would recommend it to everyone as the food is perfect - cooked to order, not kept warm for hours on end, and we consider the owner and staff to be our personal friends. We would also recommend the specialist seafood restaurant which is also just off the beach as the food in there is delicious.”

•The beaches in La Pineda: Pale gold soft sands, deep blue shallow, clear waters and a series of secluded rocky coves that stretch between Salou and La Pineda. There is a wide decked, palm fringed promenade that runs the length of the beach with various cafes and bars leading to a water park. Plus, there are lots of watersports available.
