About Salou
Salou is the family heart of the Costa Dorada: shallow, wide beaches, a palm-lined promenade and Spain's biggest theme park resort five minutes inland. The sand shelves gently, which is why parents with small children pick it over the rockier Costa Brava, and the Cap Salou headland hides quieter coves for those who want them.
