We highlight the Playa de los Lances in Tarifa because it is the one of the town. Since it begins on the Island of Tarifa, where the Mediterranean and the Atlantic come together. Therefore, it is the first beach on the Andalusian Atlantic coast in southern Spain.
It runs for several kilometers and is a beautiful white sand beach, very wide with marine colors that range from intense blue to turquoise. With crystal clear waters, its temperature is usually low compared to those of the Mediterranean.

The wind is a regular visitor and the cause of dune formations scattered far and wide, which on very windy days, help to take refuge and enjoy the day. Although the really magical thing is to take a long walk along its shore, reach the mouth of the small river Jara and get lost in its lagoon observing the small birds that inhabit it, to, after a relaxing time, return and make a stop at the way to visit us. Since if you arrive from the island it takes about 25 minutes walking along the shore, and if you do it from the mouth of the river, already outside the town, the time is similar.

In Tarifa there are many corners and places that will leave you speechless, among which we highlight:

TARIFA VILLAGE: Where it is essential to walk through the narrow streets of its old town, visit the castle of Guzmán el Bueno, go to the Island of Tarifa that separates the Mediterranean and the Atlantic and is the southernmost point of Europe and closest to Africa, and of course, take a quiet walk along its magnificent beach and come to us to have a well-deserved ecological vegetarian tapa, eat, have a coffee or drink an organic cocktail from our menu.

TARIFA BEACHES: Undoubtedly one of the great attractions for tourism are the beaches of this corner of Andalusia. We highlight the Playa de los Lances in the Atlantic area of ​​the town and which extends for several km. We cannot forget Playa Chica in the Mediterranean area of ​​the town.
Although outside the town the variety of beaches is spectacular, we clearly highlight Bolonia Beach, about 14 km from the town, which is always in the ranking of the best beaches in Spain and Europe due to the area that surrounds it, its famous Bolonia dune, the impressive ruins and museum of the Roman city of Baelo Claudia, or the natural pools of Bolonia. Without a doubt, a unique jewel that is worth seeing.

Surrounded by Natural Parks, Tarifa is subject to a particular microclimate caused by its geographical situation and orography. Where we highlight the Natural Park of the Strait and the Natural Park of the Alcornocales.
