El Fangar Beach is one of the most amazing landscapes on the Ebro Delta and the whole of the Terres de l'Ebre. Often used as a film set, it is located on a 410-hectare peninsula and is more than 7 kilometres long and 3 kilometres wide. The area is also known as the “desert of the Ebro Delta”, as the only way to reach it is on foot and before you get there you have cross a small body of water. For this reason it is one of most popular hiking spots on the Delta.

Before setting out on your itinerary, you need to bear a few things in mind. For example, you should bring extra clothes in case the wind picks up, your footwear should be suitable for walking on sand, and you need to bring mosquito repellent, sunscreen and drinking water to keep hydrated along the way. You also need to know that from April to September access is limited with only one section accessible in front of the beach.

The main icon of the beach, the Ebro Delta and the whole of the Terres de l'Ebre is the Far del Fangar (El Fangar lighthouse), also known as La Faroleta. It is the only building you’ll find standing in this desert area... and the only shade!

El Fangar Beach is lined by dunes of great natural value. They are the largest and best preserved dunes on the whole Catalan coast. It is also known as the Platja dels Miratges (Mirage Beach) as it is common to see images on the water when the sun is at its strongest. Since El Fangar Beach can only be reached on foot, you are recommended to leave your car at Marquesa Beach.
