8 Very good

That place is a total classic! With its shallow waters, it's a safe spot to chill and soak up the sun. There's plenty of room to spread out, plus showers and a bar to keep you refreshed. All-in-all, it's the perfect place to spend a day.

The beach has a wonderful sandy shoreline - the sand is so soft and fine! Unfortunately, parking can be hard to come by, so you may need a bit of luck.

This beach near Sant Carles de la Rapita in La Ràpita is as gorgeous as all the others, yet the houses perched up high make it seem a bit too populated. The view is still breathtaking, but it's not quite as peaceful as some of the other beaches in the area.

10 Exceptional

The beach in San Carlos de la Rápita is far from ideal; it's shallow, narrow and too calm for anyone looking for an exciting beach experience. The water is unpleasantly warm due to its location in the bay of the delta, and there are only basic amenities such as showers and a snack bar. It may be suitable for children, but the view of the Trabucador in the Delta and the port of San Carlos doesn't make up for the lack of any real attractions. Daily cleaning is the only plus.
