User reviews

"This beach has amazing black sand, but it's important to be cautious of the strong waves and current. Following the guidance of the locals and avoiding the rocky areas will ensure a great experience of enjoying the sand and waves. Additionally, the restaurant on the beach offers delicious food for when hunger strikes."

Ethan Evans

"This beach is a fantastic spot to grab some lunch while enjoying the view of the surfers. However, be cautious as the sand can get extremely hot and may burn your feet. Additionally, the ocean can be a bit rough, making it less ideal for swimming. But if you happen to be driving by, it's definitely worth a stop."

What to do in Taharuu Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

For those who wish to engage in something more extreme than a lazy holiday on the beach, it is worth noting that Taharuu Beach is excellent for surfing. This kind of activity is suitable for beginners and for professionals. The waves in this region you can see in the photos above or study the reviews by our users. And by the way, on the beach you can take surfing coaches!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Taharuu Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
