Situated on the coast south of l'Ametlla de Mar, and is an important tourist centre and minor fishing port, the town is served by the A-7 autopista, the N-340 coast road and by a station on the RENFE railway line between Tarragonaand Valencia.

One of the main features of L'Ampolla is the variety of the beaches, unique on the Catalan coast, ranging from sandy beaches with calm shallow waters, ideal for children, to pebbly or sandy beaches surrounded by red-hued cliffs.

As a town with a fishing and delta tradition, L'Ampolla boasts a rich cuisine, unique to this region.

The influence of the Delta can be noted in the traditional Catalan dishes such as Fideuà (a paella type dish made with noodles instead of rice), eel in sauce and smoked eel. These along with black rice and rice a banda (paella rice) are among a wide variety of rice dishes that have been created using the delicate products of our land and the Mediterranean sea.

For those with a sweet tooth, as well as the sweet dishes offered by the dessert chefs, there are other traditional desserts such as coc de brossat, cakes made with cabell d'àngel (a kind of sweet vermicelli) and les coquetes de la creu.
