"Good beach. The sun is shining and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation. It's a great place to spend a day soaking up the rays and just enjoying the scenery. You won't be disappointed with this beach; it's the ideal spot to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life."

"At 2.5km in length, this beach is easy to access and has plenty of space for everyone. Although Tarifa is Europe's windiest town, that doesn't stop people from enjoying the sun and the popular kite surfing activities the beach has to offer."
