Playa El Miracle is Tarragona’s city beach. The beach is located between Playa de la Arrabassada and the port. From the Balcón del Mediterráneo (end of the Rambla Nova) you can look at El Miracle. Due to its location and the wind, windsurfing is common on this beach.
Playa Fonda (Cala Fonda) is also called Waikiki (after a famous beach in Hawaii). That is not without reason, it is a lovely beach with lots of privacy. The latter is because you can only get there on foot with a 15-20 minute walk (from Playa Larga or La Mora, on the GR-92 walking route).
