Platja de la Móra is located in the La Móra urbanisation and measures 520 × 65 m. Its fine sand gives La Mòra a clear connection to the beach. For trip planning, there is also the coastal landscape of the Tamarit-Punta de la Móra area and Torre de la Móra, a historic watchtower. This gives you different focal points to choose from when selecting your destination: beach, coast and history.

Beach and coastal scenery

The two sections of the Tamarit-Punta de la Móra protected area are separated by Platja de la Móra and the La Móra urbanisation. For orientation, it helps to distinguish between the names: Platja refers to the specific beach, while Tamarit-Punta de la Móra refers to the protected area. The coastline there includes a more or less rugged rocky stretch, small coves and sandy areas. If you consider landscape as a distinct reason for your trip, this mix of coastal features offers a different point of interest from the fine-sand beach.

Torre de la Móra

Torre de la Móra has a circular ground plan, very thick walls, loopholes and a raised entrance. It is about twelve metres high. Loopholes are narrow openings in a wall; together with the thick walls and raised entrance, they define the tower’s design. So the tower cannot be described by its approximate height alone: its ground plan and architectural details are also part of its architectural profile.

Historically, the Torre was part of a network of watchtowers that monitored the coast of Tarragona in the modern era. It thus adds a clear historical dimension to the landscape and beach themes. If you are interested in coastal surveillance and historic buildings, the tower offers a specific point of interest alongside the natural coastal features.

Routes and buses

Two named routes include Platja de la Móra in different ways. “De Tarragona a Tamarit, la ruta dels enigmes” passes via Platja de La Móra; “Tomb de l'anella verda” reaches Platja de la Móra. In other words, the beach is part of the described route in one case, while in the other it is named as a destination. This distinction helps you tell the routes’ connections to the beach apart when deciding whether to include one in your plans. Route conditions and access regulations may change, so check the latest information before visiting.

Bus routes 11, 12 and 13 still include stops along the coast and run as far as Platja de la Móra. Routes and seasonal timetables may change. Check the timetable for your visit date if you are planning to travel to La Mòra by bus.

Choose the right focus

When looking for a holiday apartment in La Mòra, you can first decide what you want to be the main theme of your stay: the fine-sand beach, the coastal scenery or the history of Torre de la Móra. If a route or bus connection is important to your plans, also take its specific route or the timetable for your dates into account. This lets you choose a destination that suits your interests before comparing individual holiday apartments.
