Tamariu (, Catalan for tamarisk) is one of three coastal towns belonging to the municipality of Palafrugell, province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain, the other two being Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc. It is part of the Costa Brava, the coastal region of northeastern Catalonia, in the comarca of Baix Empordà. It is situated about south of the border with France and close to the nearby inland towns of Palafrugell and Begur.
The name Tamariu derives from the presence of many tamarisk trees along the promenade, which separates the beach from the narrow streets and whitewashed buildings of the town. Tamariu was originally a small fishing village, and fishing boats are still to be seen drawn up on the beach. Today they have been joined by a few hotels, along with seafood restaurants, cafes and bars.
