Selvático Beach Club Tarragona sits on the marina at Port Esportiu de Tarragona, along Passeig Marítim Rafael Casanova facing the boats and the sea. It's a restaurant, cocktail bar, and beach club in one, and one of the better places to eat on the Tarragona waterfront.
Tarragona's beach club scene has more to choose from if this isn't quite your style.
The setup is all outdoor: sunbeds, umbrellas, and a bar with regular DJ sets in the evenings. The crowd here is mostly dinner-goers rather than sunbed tourists.
Prices are €€ and reservations are accepted, which is worth doing if you're coming for dinner. Parking is easy, with a free lot on-site and paid options nearby. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, including entrance, seating, and restrooms.
Rated 4.6 from 1,938 reviews, with a strong majority of guests giving five stars. There's a small number of low ratings, but the overall picture is very positive. Guests single out the food quality and service in particular. The club is currently seasonally closed, so check the website before visiting.

Food & Drinks at Selvático Beach Club Tarragona
Food is the main reason people come here. As a rice restaurant, paella and fideuà are the heart of the menu. Ribeye is the other dish that keeps coming up in reviews, and it's clearly a crowd favourite.
The kitchen also does tataki and chlamys varia, a local scallop variety that's worth ordering if you're into seafood. It reads like a menu that mixes Spanish rice classics with grilled meats and a few Japanese-influenced dishes. Guests rate both the food and service highly.
Drinks cover cocktails, wine, beer, coffee, and spirits. Small plates are available if you want something lighter.
