The Costa Dorada, located in the province of Tarragona, is well known for its long sandy beaches and pleasant Mediterranean climate. However, beyond the most crowded tourist spots, there are authentic paradises that only a few lucky people know about: small, unspoilt coves that can only be reached by sea. Exploring them by boat is not only a unique experience but also the best way to enjoy crystal-clear waters and postcard-perfect landscapes.

At OnBoats Rental, based in L’Ametlla de Mar, we offer routes and boat rentals that allow you to explore these secret corners. Here are five of our favourites:

1. Cala Forn
Small and cosy, with golden sand and turquoise waters, perfect for anchoring and swimming in a sheltered environment.

2. Cala Vidre
Next to Cala Forn, its name refers to the clarity of its waters. A great spot for snorkelling and observing marine life.

3. Cala Llobeta
Surrounded by pine trees and with a beautiful seabed, this cove is ideal for nature and photography lovers.

4. Cala Pepo
A tiny, secluded cove hidden among rocky formations. Perfect for enjoying intimacy and silence.

5. Cala Calafató
Larger than the previous ones but still very peaceful. Its fine sand and shallow waters make it safe for families with children.

Tips for your boat trip
Bring snorkelling gear to explore the seabed, sunscreen to avoid burns, and some food and drinks to spend the day. Always respect authorised anchoring areas to protect the marine ecosystem. Planning your route in advance will allow you to visit several coves in one day.

Renting a boat with OnBoats Rental opens the door to a coastline full of beauty and tranquillity. Whether you are looking for disconnection, adventure, or direct contact with nature, the hidden coves of the Costa Dorada are waiting to offer you an unforgettable experience.
