Platja Eucaliptus, also known as Playa de Los Eucaliptus, is a tranquil beach located in the municipality of Amposta, in the Delta del Ebro Natural Park, Catalonia, Spain. The beach is part of the Urb Eucaliptus-delta Del Ebro area and is also accessible from the town of Sant Carles de la Ràpita. Known for its natural beauty, the beach is situated in a privileged environment characterized by its surrounding rice fields and eucalyptus trees, which lend the beach its name.
The beach spans an impressive 6 kilometers, offering expansive and clean sandy shores. It is a pristine, quiet beach with fine sand. It is characterized by its unique dunes and native flora and fauna, which can be observed from various viewpoints. Formed by the marine currents and the force of the Ebro River, the beach creates a narrow isthmus called Punta de la Banya.

One unique feature of this beach is the ability to drive on the sand, although there is a fee for this service. This allows for easy access to the beach, which can also be reached by car or bicycle.
The beach is known for its beautiful scenery and is popular with tourists. It's a suitable place for families with children and enthusiasts of water sports like kitesurfing and windsurfing. However, the waters can get a bit bumpy, especially during windy conditions, which may not be ideal for families with very small children.
In terms of amenities, the beach offers various accommodation options in the area, including rental houses and apartments. However, the specific details and availability of these accommodations may vary.
