TARIFA TOWN & Beaches

​

Ten kilometres of white sandy beaches, unspoilt countryside and some of the best windsurfing conditions in Europe have established Tarifa as a true surfers paradise.

​

Just 11 km across the Straits of Gibraltar at its narrowest point, this southern-most tip of Europe where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean, enjoys spectacular views of the Rif mountains of Africa across the water.

​

Tarifa's wild coastline attracts surfers and nature-lovers alike. Just as famous for its birdwatching as its surfing, there are endless

opportunities

to explore the

countryside,

Horse-riding,

kite-surfing,

rock-climbing

and diving to

name but a few. 

 

This little fishing town was the first point of the Moorish invasion of Southern Spain in 711. 

 

The narrow cobbled streets, tumbling jasmine and beautiful wrought-iron gates make Tarifa old town a charming place for a stroll. The original city walls of this ancient town are tightly woven into the fabric of the whitewashed houses. 

​

The Atlantic coast is where you find amazing long beaches with white sand. The area can often be windy which makes it ideal for kite- and windsurfing.
