The pristine white beaches of Tarifa are just as majestic as the 800-year-old castle that stands proudly in this southern Spanish town. Windsurfing or kitesurfing is an absolute must, and the sea sparkles with the promise of bustling marine life—perfect for enthusiastic scuba divers. At night, Tarifa itself sparkles with bars, nightclubs and tapas bars galore.

This beach is fnatastic for kitesurfing, but also for a day relaxing on the beach. Tarifa is a fnatastic old town with a great atmosphere.

Nothing more to add - than I'm kicking myself for not visiting more!! Have been windsurfing in Tarifa for > 20 years - so always too busy to explore The beach last week brought tears to my eyes - unsurpassed beauty, a great walk, stunning sunshine, light winds and thanks to the tail end of a depression, wondrous waves Will pay homage to this beautiful beach every visit in future

Playa Chica

Reviewed By csomosan - Victoria, Canada

This is a small awesome little beach on the Mediterranean sea, which is on left side as you look at the Isla de las Palomas which separates it from the Atlantic side on the right. It's great to swim in the Mediterranean sea on this beach and then walk over to the Playa de lis Lances on the other side of the Isla de las Palomas and swim in the Atlantic. Quite a diffrence! The Mediteranian side is much calmer! See my panoramic picture for the two beaches.
