A gentle slope into the sea at La Paella beach. La Paella stretches for 800 metres next to the marina. The sand here is fine and the seabed slopes gently, so it is an easy beach to bring small children to. There are volleyball and beach football courts on the sand, and at the marina next door you can go diving or take a kayak out to sea. The beach holds a 2026 Blue Flag.

Baix a Mar beach is accessible for people with reduced mobility. Baix a Mar lies in the former fishermen's quarter, between the Club Marítim yacht club and Plaça Narcís Monturiol. The beach has ramps, shade under a pergola, adapted toilets and parking, and there are amphibious chairs for bathing. Most of the town's restaurants are on the promenade above the beach. If you bring a mask, swim out to Les Antines: three stone reefs lie parallel to the shore there.

The Els Muntanyans dunes are part of the Natura 2000 network. The 2.2 km Els Muntanyans beach belongs to the protected natural area Platja de Torredembarra i Creixell. Dunes and salt marshes survive here, although they have disappeared from almost the whole of the Catalan coast. A 452-metre sensory trail for people with visual impairments runs along the beach, and nudism is permitted on a stretch of about 400 metres. The dunes are about 15 minutes' walk from Torredembarra railway station along the promenade, heading towards Barcelona.

The lighthouse on La Galera headland has been working since 1 January 2000. It was designed by the architect Josep Maria Llinàs, and its light shines 58 metres above the sea. You can climb the lighthouse all year round, but only on a guided tour: the group climbs 189 steps to a viewing platform 30 metres up. Groups are limited to seven people, a ticket costs €3, and the climb is not recommended for children under 10. Places are few, so buy your ticket in advance on turismetorredembarra.cat. The El Roquer cliffs, up to 25 metres high, stretch for 2 km around the lighthouse, so keep away from the edge.

The Icart castle now houses the town hall. Lluís Icart, lord of the town, began building the castle in 1565, and it was finished 15 years later. It is a square fortified residence with four corner towers and an arcaded inner courtyard, built on the highest point of the old town. Opposite the church of Sant Pere stands the Torre de la Vila, a Mudéjar tower that was most likely built in the 12th or 13th century.

The colonial façades of the indianos on Carrer Antoni Roig. Indianos was the name given to those who emigrated to the Americas and came back rich. Joan Güell i Ferrer left Torredembarra for Cuba, but on his return he settled in Barcelona. Other emigrants who had made their fortunes built houses in the town with high ceilings, colonial façades and gardens at the back, and most of them are on Carrer Antoni Roig. Tours of the old town and the indianos' houses are sold on the same website as the lighthouse tickets.
