Riumar Beach is a true paradise. It has nearly four kilometres of fine golden sand and its spectacular dunes are unique in Catalonia. Its size makes you feel insignificant when surrounded by so much natural beauty. Its waters are shallow and the area’s gentle winds form waves that delight surfers and windsurfers. Last but not least, the proximity of the thousands of birds that make the Delta their home or are just passing through on their annual migrations add to its magic. Located between the mouth of the Ebro River and Bassa de l'Arena Beach, Riumar Beach is one of the most popular in the Terres de l'Ebre.

Its location next to the mouth of the Ebro gives rise to many areas of standing water where small islets form lagoons. It is also a paradise for ornithologists, as Riumar Beach (and the entire Delta) is a prime spot for birdwatching. Particularly striking are the flamingos that flaunt their pink plumage as they feed and recharge their energy in this unique ecosystem.

Riumar Beach offers various services including parking spaces, showers, beach bars, parasol, sun lounger and pedalo rental, boardwalks, sailing club, beach library, picnic area, daily cleaning and a bus service. In addition, being close to the centre of Riumar, you also have within easy reach a wide variety of restaurants offering excellent local and traditional cuisine, as well as bicycle rental, adventure activity companies, guides and shops. In summer, the beach also has a lifeguard service and is adapted for people with functional diversity.

Another unique feature of Riumar Beach is its location within the Ebro Delta Natural Park and its proximity to the El Garxal area, where there is a birdwatching point. Follow the El Garxal route along a sandy track to El Ziggurat, a tower some 7 metres high from where there are magnificent views of the mouth of the Ebro, Buda Island and Sant Antoni Island. The best times to enjoy and immortalise the picturesque scenery are in the early morning or at dusk, when the sun is rising or setting.
