I can't believe we just found out about this beach. Beautiful emerald green sea, soft sand, roman ruins on the beach! We stayed at Zahara de Los Atunes. It's cute little town is so very relaxing. You can get wonderful tunas here. It's one of the most famous tuna fishing area in the world! May is perfect time to visit.... More

Always enjoyed our visits here, were the sand is so soft and the sea is so cool! This is the place where I felt that I have found my place. I was lucky enough to live not far away from here for a year... Kids enjoyed it. It was a clean beach.

Tarifa is a beautiful place to take time off and relax from your busy vacation. The day I arrived it was very windy, and the kite surfer was flying 20 feet high at least. There are amazing little streets to wander through and a great view of the Strait of Gibraltar. Perfect beach, and perfect plaza.

This is a beautiful unspoiled place; I stayed at Hotel Traiana which was spotlessly clean and attractively appointed. The hosts are lovely and hospitablle, and although it is not precisely on top of the beach it is so close you can hear the waves crashing and see the surf from your window and the price is very reasonable and unlike...

This beach is a wonderful attraction of Tarifa-especially at sunset. The beach is huge and stretches out several miles, until the dune on the other side of the small bay. There are several surf and hotel areas as well as campsites.

Hidden coves and a crazy Brazilian Chiriguito free roaming cows and horses so not to all tastes . Take a rug and a picnic .

It has a breathtaking view on Morocco and Tarifa, In clear days you can see Africa and it looks right there. Kytesurfers beach, the sand is so soft. It can get very windy though and I suggest to bring a sweater for the evening because it does get chilly.

Wonderful, huge beach! The sand dune was a real plus. Super windy, freezing cold sea! Hide behind the sand dune if you want to sunbathe!

What a treat, the day trip from Novo Sancti Petri was well worth it. Stunning beach, crystal clear water. Just fantastic. Go and enjoy.
