Cambrils opened an accessible bathing zone on La Llosa beach, installing a €60,500 platform with steel ~~hand‑rails,~~ hand-rails, safety buoys and twenty shaded seats, allowing users to enter the water independently. Mayor Oliver Klein said the town aims to become a benchmark for inclusive public spaces.

The town’s assisted-bathing service, which uses an amphibious chair, continues at Regueral, Vilafortuny, and La Llosa beaches through 30 September.

Permanent adapted restrooms replaced provisional facilities, and wider parking spaces with ramps and pedestrian crossings on Avenida Ferrandis Salvador improve access from the bike lane.
