Beautiful beach for sunset!!!!! Watch from the bay side for a beautiful view of the sun setting behind the mountain. Bring a blanket and picnic, or there’s a small bar in the summer. Parking was abundant and free. It’s probably lovely in the day too with options to be at the bay or sea.
Absolutely amazing place, a slice of paradise, well worth visiting
It’s a delight to see this beach. Walking in the middle and seeing water on both the sides is just crazy and breath taking sight. Would highly recommend, especially for sunset
Very nice and long beach in Delta de l’Ebre. At the end there’s a nice lighthouse where you can take cool pictures. It is also a natural park and it is clean and well maintained
This is the best beach in the world. Raw, isolated, untouched, and with little or no humans.
The water is very warm in the summer, especially on the bay side. I didn’t have time to learn to kitesurf during this visit but would definitely like to try it next time I’m there.
Really nice views. Awesome beach. Fun in the sand.
Breathtaking beach, amazingly long, sand very fine, dogs and nudism allowed all rear round, On one side you have the beach and on the other you have like a huge natural shallow pool, you can walk and walk and the water never passes above your hips. Ideal for families with children / disable people

Lovely view. It will feature soon in one of our videos. Find us on YouTube. FindingXanaduOfficial
Nice view of Rápita and the delta del ebre. From the parking it’s a short 8 minute walk to the top. Wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to go here, nothing too special.
It's a nice view point, the view is excellent but when we visited there was also a lot of construction noise and also too much litter and graffiti everywhere. It's nice but could be so much nicer. The view is superb however.
Nice view from here , yes there is a some graffiti, but you must remember why there is so much graffiti across Spain -Franco. There was a bit of rubbish next to the monument but apart from that is worth a visit You can see the mussel farms in the bay and harbour.
(Translated by Google) THE RAPID MIRADOR DE LA GUARDIOLA OR LA TORRETTA. About 110 m high, you can see the town, the Alfacs bay, the Alfacs and Salines, a bit of the Trabucador and the southern part of the Delta with the Encanyissada. To go up by car you have to go from the north, since from the south before arriving there is a prohibited direction. Some visitors water and the smell betrays it. 75 years ago I climbed it with the help of my aunt Lolita Massot, undoubtedly the best teacher that Ràpita has had. Then the booms sounded, probably to build a breakwater. (Original) LA RÀPITA. MIRADOR DE LA GUARDIOLA O LA TORRETA. Uns 110 m alta permet veure el poble, la bahia dels Alfacs, els Alfacs i Salines, un poc el Trabucador i la part sud del Delta amb l Encanyissada. Per pujar amb cotxe cal anarhi des del nord, ja q pel sud abans d arribarhi posa direcció prohibida. Alguns visitants, reguen i ho delata l olor. Fa 75 anys hi pujava de la mà de ma tia Lolita Massot, sens dubte la millor mestra q ha tingut la Ràpita. Llavors sonaven les barrinades, probablement per bastir una escullera.
(Translated by Google) Easy to get to. Beautiful views. I liked it as an activity when you have a spare hour without anything else to do. (Original) Fácil de llegar. Bonitas vistas. Me gustó como actividad cuando tienes una hora suelta sin nada que hacer.
(Translated by Google) Good views of La Ràpita, and the Delta, and little else. On foot it is a short excursion from the cemetery or from the opposite side. You can go up directly by car from the cemetery side. On the other side only on foot. There are lots of antennas around. (Original) Bones vistes de La Ràpita, i del Delta, i poc més. A peu és una excursió curta des del cementiri o des de la banda oposada. Es pot pujar directament en cotxe des de la banda del cementiri. Per l'altra banda només a peu. Hi ha masses antenes al voltant.
(Translated by Google) La Rapita from the Guardiola viewpoint (113 m above sea level). Panoramic view of the Ebro delta, the Bay of Alfacs and the city. Far too urbanized; it's a shame. On the other hand, in the distance, we can clearly see the immense mussel parks. (Original) La Rapita depuis le mirador de la Guardiola (113 m d'altitude). Vue panoramique sur le delta de l'Èbre, la baie des Alfacs et la ville. Beaucoup trop urbanisé ; c'est dommage. En revanche, au loin, on voit bien les immenses parcs à moules.

Familiar summit with hiking trails that lead to picturesque views of the Ebro River delta.
Slide 1 of 8
Amazing views! Worth the hiking that is level intermediate 😅 If you’re reaching the mountain’s base by motorcycle, skip the new parking by passing the gate on the side and stop closer to the trail start 😉
Intens hike throught mediteranean bushes to the beautiful view point to the sea and the Delta del Ebro.
From the sea side all roads are closed and private. No way up
Fantastic spot! Superb view and not crowded
Beautiful location
(Translated by Google) A spectacular route, impressive views where you can take the opportunity to rest! There are very few signs and several paths to go up. You have a large parking lot, where you can park without problem. The only bad thing is that it is a very rocky path. (Original) Una ruta espectacular, unas vistas impresionante donde aprovechar para descansar! Hay muy pocas señalizaciones y varios caminos para subir. Tienes un parking amplio, donde aparcar sin problema. Lo único malo es que es un camino de mucha piedra.
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful circular route. There are gorgeous panoramic views at the top! Comfortable ascent and descent. (Original) Очень красивый кольцевой маршрут. На вершине шикарные панорамные виды! Комфортный подъем и спуск.

There is a free library and nursery where is microwave and you can charge your phone. Open 1000-1900
(Translated by Google) A beach in the hotels/summer houses area. Shower is available, you can come with your family comfortably. There is free car parking very nearby. There is a children's park. Sunbeds/umbrellas are enough ;) (Original) oteller/yazlıklar bölgesinde bir plaj. Duş mevcut, aileyle rahatça gelinebilir. Çok yakınında ücretsiz araç parkı var. çocuk parkı mevcut. şezlong/şemsiye yeterli ;)
(Translated by Google) Platja Les Delícies in La Ràpita is that corner of the Mediterranean that instantly captivates you: fine sand, crystal-clear waters, and a charming promenade. Perfect for relaxing in the sun or taking a leisurely dip, with breathtaking views of Montsià. The atmosphere is family-friendly but just the right amount of liveliness: beach bars serving local tapas, fresh fish, and that sea breeze that recharges your soul. Ideal for a stress-free day at the beach, where every sunset becomes a spectacle. A coastal treasure you can't miss! (Original) Platja Les Delícies en La Ràpita es ese rincón de Mediterráneo que te enamora al instante: arena fina, aguas cristalinas y un paseo marítimo lleno de encanto. Perfecta para relajarse al sol o darse un chapuzón tranquilo, con vistas al Montsià que quitan el aliento. El ambiente es familiar pero con el punto justo de animación: chiringuitos con tapas locales, pescadito fresco y esa brisa marina que te recarga el alma. Ideal para una jornada de playa sin agobios, donde cada puesta de sol se convierte en un espectáculo. ¡Un tesoro costero que no te puedes perder!
(Translated by Google) Clean sandy beach where you can swim for many meters without being covered in water. Great for visiting with small children. There are two beach bars, showers and restrooms, and water attractions for rent. (Original) Playa de arena limpia, en la que te puedes meter muchos metros sin que te cubra el agua. Magnífica para ir con niños pequeños. Tienes dos chiringuitos, duchas y baños y atracciones acuáticas para alquilar.
(Translated by Google) We had a very nice holiday ❤️❤️❤️ (Original) Muy bonito hemos piado las fiestas ❤️❤️❤️
(Translated by Google) Very good beach, clean, with services (bathrooms, Red Cross, awning and raft rentals) great! (Original) Muy buena playa, limpia, con servicios(baño, cruz roja, alquiler de toldos y balsas) genial!
(Translated by Google) Very quiet beach. Exceptional for the little ones because due to the coastal situation where it is, you can go 40m in and not sink. Fine sand and without many people. You can be on the front line at any time. Easy parking access (Original) Playa muy tranquila. Excepcional para los peques porque por la situación costera donde está, puedes adentrarte 40m y no hundirte. Arena fina y sin mucha gente. Puedes estar en primera línea a cualquier hora. Fácil acceso para aparcar
(Translated by Google) The sea was full of jellyfish the day we went. We couldn't swim, and there were no warnings about them. Plus, the sand was littered with cigarette butts and food scraps. Disappointing. (Original) El mar estaba lleno de medusas el día que fuimos. No pudimos bañarnos y no había ninguna advertencia al respecto. Además, la arena estaba llena de colillas y restos de comida. Decepcionante.

Nice place ! Only 1 euro enter and many interesting files about history !
(Translated by Google) It has a very nice room with various marine animals. The next room is old documents and at the end there is a projection (which we couldn't see as we went with very young children). The attention of the girl at the reception seemed very poor to me. He could have explained to us what the museum agreed to, that we had to go upstairs to see the exhibition. When we asked him where we had to go he told us wherever we wanted and we ended up walking around the bathrooms thinking that there would be something there. They could have offered us the audio or explained how it worked since you don't find information about what you see, only the name. (Original) Tiene una sala muy bonita con varios animales marinos. La siguiente sala son documentos antiguos y al final se encuentra una proyección (que no pudimos ver al ir con niños muy peques). La atención de la chica de la recepción me pareció muy pobre. Podria habernos explicado en que consentia el museo, en que teniamos que subir arriba para ver la exposición. Cuando le preguntamos por donde teniamos que ir nos dijo por donde quisieramos y acabamos dando una vuelta a los labavos pensando que habria algo por allí. Podria habernos ofrecido el audio o explicado como funcionaba ya que no encuentras información de lo que ves, solo el nombre.
(Translated by Google) A museum where the ground floor houses temporary exhibitions and the upper floor explains village life. It also has a room featuring local animals and a very nice shell collection. The staff is friendly. The downsides are that the room where the film was shown is very hot and the entire explanation is in Catalan. It would have been nice if it were also in Spanish and English so that everyone could understand what was being explained. (Original) Museo donde la planta de abajo es de exposiciónes temporales y la de arriba te explica la vida en el pueblo y tiene una sala de los animales de la zona y hay una colección de conchas muy bonita. El personal agradable. Puntos negativos es que en la sala donde se proyecto la película hace mucha calor y que toda la explicación está en catalán,lo suyo es que estuviera también en castellano y en inglés,para que todos pudiéramos entender lo que se explica.
(Translated by Google) A museum with a very large and beautiful building but very little content. Friendly staff gave us directions. Downstairs, there are only temporary exhibitions unrelated to the sea. The best part is the documentary about the fishing trip. A large collection of shells. Little material related to fishing or the salt flats. Not a single marine engine, even though the last Larran marine engines were built there. They have enough history to fill the museum, but it's very empty. They could still fit a few more boats in the courtyard. I saw in some reviews that people complained that it was only in Catalan. I saw almost all the signs, panels, and banners in Catalan, Spanish, and English. Catalan is perfectly understandable, at least for a Galician 😄😄. Maybe what's missing is the desire to understand it. (Original) Museo con un edificio muy grande y bonito pero con muy poco contenido. Personal amable, nos indicaron como realizar la visita. En la parte baja sólo hay exposiciones temporales nada relacionadas con el mar. Lo mejor el documental sobre la jornada de pesca. Una gran colección de conchas. Poco material relacionado con la pesca, con las salinas. Ni un sólo motor marino y eso que ahí se montaron los últimos motores marinos Larrán. Tienen historia suficiente para llenar el museo pero está muy vacío. En el patio aún podían meter alguna embarcación más. Ví en algunas valoraciones que la gente se quejaba de que sólo estaba en catalán. Yo ví casi todos los carteles, paneles, lonas en Catalá, castellano e inglés. Además el catalá se entiende perfectamente, por lo menos para un gallego 😄😄. Igual lo que faltan son ganas de entenderlo.
(Translated by Google) It's a small museum, but very cute to see in a short time, about 30 minutes. We were there on vacation and we really liked it. (Original) Es un museo pequeñito,pero muy mono para verlo en un ratito 30 min más o menos.Estuvimos de vacaciones allí y nos gustó mucho.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful, modern museum dedicated to maritime themes. The extensive collection of shells is noteworthy. A separate section houses a permanent exhibition devoted to the Catalan writer Sebastiàn Juan Arbó. The museum also hosts interesting art exhibitions. I highly recommend it. (Original) Piękne, nowocześnie urządzone muzeum poświęcone tematyce marynistycznej. Na uwagę załuguje obszerna kolekcja muszli. W wydzielonej części ekspozycja stała poświęcona katalońskiemu literatowi Sebastiànowi Juanowi Arbó. W muzeum prezentowane są również ciekawe wystawy sztuki. Polecam.
(Translated by Google) A small museum in a beautiful building with a huge collection of shells. It's worth it if you're nearby. (Original) Małe muzeum w pięknym budynku z ogromną kolekcja muszli. Jak się jest obok warto.
(Translated by Google) A very small museum about local fishing. Exhibits mainly include shellfish and fish. Admission is €2 for adults and €1 for children. You can explore it in 30-45 minutes. (Original) Sehr kleines Museum über die Fischerei am Ort. Hauptsächlich Muscheln und Fische als Exponate. Eintritt 2€ für Erwachsene und 1€ für Kinder. Man kann es innerhalb von 30-45 Minuten anschauen.

Beautiful beach and nice park with good facilities around. The sea is not too deep with a very gentle slope, so quite safe for young children.
Very clean beach with very shallow sea for swimming. Need to walk out a long way to get any depth, so very safe for non-swimmers. Sea very warm in summer, too warm for a refreshing dip! Busy July/ August; rest of the year very tranquil.
Beautiful beach for families as the water is shallow for about 35mtrs out, then drops to chest height I'm 6ft so nice to swim in as very warm water. Go check it out 😎😎
Small area compared to other tourist beaches.
(Translated by Google) It's not a very large beach, but it's not crowded either. It's quite quiet, with a lively, family-friendly atmosphere, surrounded by palm trees and beach bars, and the water isn't very deep. The only downside is that seaweed tends to accumulate on some parts of the shore, but it's not a nuisance when swimming. Highly recommended, one of the best beaches in La Rápita. (Original) No es una playa muy grande, pero tampoco está masificada. Es bastante tranquila, con un entorno familiar y alegre, con palmeras y chiringuitos alrededor, y además, el agua no cubre nada. La única pega es que suelen acumularse algas en algunas partes de la orilla, pero no es molesto a la hora de bañarse. Muy recomendable, de las mejores playas de La Rápita.
