Ferry Cambrils to Salou round trip: Coastal boat ride

A short boat ride that gives you two towns instead of one

A round-trip ferry between Cambrils and Salou on the Catalan coast, each crossing taking 30 minutes. You can ride out and back on the same boat, or step off in either town to explore and catch a later departure. Departures run throughout the day from 10:00 a.m. onward, with evening sailings added in July and August.

The experience

The ferry leaves Cambrils at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. (the last one only in summer), with return sailings from Salou at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. The crossing itself takes half an hour each way, so you can do a round trip in an hour if you stay on board, or use the boat as transport to spend an afternoon in the other town. The schedule is loose enough that you can pick a departure that fits the rest of your day: no need to plan around a fixed tour time.

The boat has a restroom on board and is wheelchair accessible. Guides speak English and Spanish, so you can ask about what you're seeing as the coast passes. The crossing is suitable for all fitness levels, and infants can travel in a pram or stroller. If you're based in one town and want to see the other without renting a car or waiting for a bus, this is the straightforward way to do it.
