Almost all beaches in Tarifa are suitable for windsurfing and kitesurfing. But each of them has its own characteristics, so you can find a place to suit your skill level. However, all the best beaches in Tarifa for lessons are located outside the city limits.
In the city limits, surfers can practice at Río Jara. It has all the facilities and equipment for rent. Five kilometers away is Dos Mares beach with changing cabins.
There you can rent equipment for activities including sailing. A little further afield, Atre Vida beach is a busy place at weekends, even though there are no changing facilities. But it does boast big waves, much to the delight of surfers.
About 8km from Tarifa, Hurricane Beach offers focused windsurfing and kitesurfing instruction, so there's plenty of infrastructure around it: restaurants, bars and camping space.
Los Valdevaqueros beach is also located there, and is the most popular among fans of these sports. It is also home to a sailing school. But the most beautiful beach is Punta Paloma, 10km from Tarifa. Here you will not find equipment rentals, because only experienced athletes come with their own equipment.
Another question, which is the best beach to choose in Tarifa for a family vacation? Try Chica beach. Here surfers appear only in winter. Tourists can rent sunbeds, umbrellas and enjoy a vacation on the southernmost coast of continental Europe. Also tourists can freely relax in July and August on the city beach Los Lances - in the "high season" surfing is prohibited here. However, there are bars, soccer and volleyball courts.
