Windsurfing or kitesurfing is an absolute must, and the sea sparkles with the promise of bustling marine life—perfect for enthusiastic scuba divers.

Atlas Beach

The highly talented and skilled Manuel Caminero produces some fabulous high quality photos. We have bought a few now and remain delighted with them. The quality of the acrylic mounting process means that these are high end art photos. Highly recommend. Have a look you won’t be disappointed.

Surf Bar Tomatito

Affectionately known by the locals as just Tomatito, this shabby cool surfer's bar, that is largely frequented by many of the town's surfers, kite surfers and windsurfers (instructors, professionals and students alike) has everything you could want for a fun night out (and possibly a little more) . Located on the corner of the main party square of the 'casco antiguo', Tarifa's old town, it offers more of a mix of both Spanish and foreign drinkers (both locals, season workers and tourists) than many of the other bars, and is a great place to meet and hook up with other partiers. With 2 bars, the friendliest staff, Live Music every Thursday, a Foosball table with weekly competitions, beer pong, great music and a free jukebox on Wednesdays and Fridays and even an xbox and a dart board for those quieter winter nights, it offers plenty to keep anyone pleasantly happy during the long Tarifa nights. It really is always happy hour at Surf Bar Tomatito!!

This beach is fnatastic for kitesurfing, but also for a day relaxing on the beach. Tarifa is a fnatastic old town with a great atmosphere.

Nothing more to add - than I'm kicking myself for not visiting more!! Have been windsurfing in Tarifa for > 20 years - so always too busy to explore The beach last week brought tears to my eyes - unsurpassed beauty, a great walk, stunning sunshine, light winds and thanks to the tail end of a depression, wondrous waves Will pay homage to this beautiful beach every visit in future

This mirador is worth a stop for the tremendous views over the Mediterranean over to Morocco and towards Gibraltar and Ceuta, especially on a clear sunny day. You get the full realisation how close Africa and Europe are
