The beach is physically connected to the Prat d'en Forès, a small protected coastal wetland that acts as a natural dune barrier.
Platja del Regueral is one of the few beaches in the region with an 'ISO 14001' environmental certification.
The promenade adjacent to the beach is part of an extensive network of bicycle paths known as the Cambrils cycling circuit.
The sand composition is imported and replenished periodically to maintain the beach's width against Mediterranean coastal erosion.
Platja del Regueral is the primary urban beach of Cambrils, stretching approximately 1.2 kilometers along the Costa Daurada. It features a continuous promenade connecting it directly to the historic port area of the town. The beach holds a Blue Flag certification, indicating high standards for water quality, safety, and environmental management. Its surface consists primarily of fine golden sand, maintained regularly during the peak season. The seabed slopes gently, making the entry into the water gradual and suitable for various skill levels. A distinct feature is the wooden footbridge that spans the coastal path, facilitating pedestrian access. The beach is equipped with public showers, adapted facilities for people with reduced mobility, and designated play areas. It sits adjacent to the Prat d'en Forès natural coastal wetland area.

Use the wooden footbridges to access the sand to minimize dune disturbance and avoid hot pavement.
Look for the northern section near the port if you prefer proximity to cafes and retail services.
The southern end of the beach is generally quieter and located further from the main port noise.
Do not attempt to park directly on the coastal road, as street parking is heavily restricted for non-residents during the summer.
Lifeguard services and public amenities are seasonal, typically operational from late spring through mid-autumn.
Standard beach etiquette applies; use designated bins for waste and avoid feeding local bird populations in the nearby wetlands.
