Els Muntanyans

Els Muntanyans Beach in Torredembarra is part of the Torredembarra and Creixell Beach Nature Reserve and is included in the Natura 2000 Network, a European ecological network made up of special conservation areas. This is a very environmentally important area on the Costa Daurada, as its two kilometres of coastline are home to the most important dunes and salt marshes outside the Ebro Delta. In addition to sunbathing and sea bathing, Els Muntanyans Beach is a great place for walking and observing the native animal and plant species.

Els Muntanyans Beach has more than two kilometres (2,200 metres) of fine, golden sands that slope gently into the Mediterranean. Its waters are crystal clear, warm and calm. The beach is part of Torredembarra's Blue Trail itineraries that connect the beaches and harbours with the Blue Flag award that contribute to the sustainable use of the coast. It also has a 452-metre sensory circuit adapted for the visually impaired. During the year, GEPEC-EdC, a very active citizen’s environmental movement, organises guided tours and other activities.

The beach has a lifeguard service, footbaths, public toilets, litter bins and recycling points. A 400-metre stretch of the beach is designated for naturists/nudism.
