Platja de la Savinosa
Tarragona, Tarragona, Catalonia
A sheltered-looking sandy cove near Tarragona with a well-established mix of naturist and swimwear bathing. Municipal beach showers and a seasonal beach bar make this a practical alternative to the more remote forest coves.

Tarragona City Council explicitly describes Savinosa as a mixed nudist/textile beach. Visitors may sunbathe or swim nude or in swimwear; no exclusive compulsory-nude section is confirmed.
The naturist use described applies to the beach, not public streets, restaurants, private campsites or protected dunes. Respect the current signs and other beach users.
Facilities
- Showers: The council lists public showers on the beach; seasonal or drought-related operating restrictions may apply.
- Restaurant/Cafe: A beach guingueta is confirmed by the council and federation; seasonal opening and clothing rules apply.

Directions & Parking
Getting there
The council locates Savinosa off the N-340 around kilometres 1165–1166, north-east of central Tarragona. Use the signed public beach approach rather than entering the old Savinosa sanatorium property. Public transport and walking access are listed by the council; check current city routes.
Parking
The municipality confirms parking at the beach approach. Use the marked public spaces and follow the current local restrictions; this is nearby public beach parking and is not counted as an on-site naturist facility. Do not block access roads or private property.
Finding the naturist area
From the public approach, take the beach access or boardwalk down to the sand. The small cove itself is mixed nudist/textile, so there is no need to climb beyond the headlands or enter another cove in search of an invented designated nude end.
Where naturism applies
The recognised mixed-use area is Savinosa’s sandy cove. The approach road, neighbouring buildings and old sanatorium grounds are not part of the nude beach. Use the public coastal path when walking between beaches.
- Check local access signs and the sea conditions before descending to the beach.
- Bring water, sun protection and footwear suitable for the approach.
- Respect privacy and keep to marked paths rather than crossing dunes or unstable cliffs.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
