Platja de Riumar lies in the Delta de l'Ebre Natural Park, between the mouth of the Ebro and Bassa de l'Arena beach. Nearby is El Garxal, the delta's most recently formed lagoon. There are also viewpoints and a route that can be completed by bike or on foot. When looking for a hotel in Riumar, the beach, lagoon and route offer three distinct focuses for planning your trip.

Lagoon and Viewpoints in the Delta

El Garxal covers 280 hectares. The El Garxal area, near Platja de Riumar, has a birdwatching point. The area and the viewpoint offer different ways to experience the natural environment: the lagoon provides the landscape setting, while the viewpoint directs your attention to birds. This can help you decide whether to focus mainly on the coastal resort or on nature in the delta.

Another viewpoint in the Riumar area is Mirador del Zigurat, at the mouth of the Ebro. The wooden viewpoint is about 12 metres high and offers panoramic views. It provides a different perspective from the viewpoints at El Garxal: there, the focus is on observing wildlife at the lagoon, while at Zigurat it is on the panoramic view from the river mouth. Its height, material and location give you concrete points of reference for distinguishing between the two perspectives on the landscape.

The Route by Bike or on Foot

The Desembocadura - Garxal - Riumar route starts at a car park next to Riumar's seafront promenade. It is a cycling route through the Delta de l'Ebre Natural Park and can also be completed on foot. So there are not two different routes to choose from, but two ways to experience the same named route.

In Riumar, the route follows the seafront promenade. At the El Garxal lagoon, there are two viewpoints for observing the wildlife found there. These viewpoints make nature watching a distinct part of the route, alongside cycling or walking. You can consider which way of getting around suits your plans and whether you would also like to include wildlife observation along the way.

The seafront promenade is also of interest to cyclists: a cycle path runs along its entire length. Together with the route's course along the seafront promenade, this gives you a concrete point of reference for the section in Riumar.

The Beach and Practical Information

Facilities at Platja de Riumar include car parks, showers, beach bars, wooden walkways, pedal boat hire, a sailing club, a beach library, a picnic area, daily cleaning and a bus service. Some seasonal services may vary; check what is available for the dates of your visit. This information about the beach complements the nature and route perspectives with practical services for a seaside stay.

If you are mainly interested in nature watching and outdoor activities, El Garxal, the viewpoints and the route provide suitable options for your plans. When considering specific hotels, check whether their location and facilities suit your plans.
