The coastal vegetation includes protected endemic species adapted to high salinity and wind exposure.
The Camí de Ronda in Salou is a restored coastal path tracing the rugged Mediterranean shoreline of the Cap de Salou. The trail leads directly to the Far de Salou, a working lighthouse originally constructed in 1858. The route covers approximately 6.5 kilometers of coastline, connecting natural coves and cliffs. It utilizes wooden walkways and metal staircases to navigate the uneven limestone terrain. The path provides geological insights into the Costa Daurada's coastal erosion processes. It serves as a connector between the Salou urban center and the headland's natural conservation areas. The trail is fully pedestrianized and integrated into the local greenway network.
