The Best Beaches In Cádiz, The Surfing Paradise
The province of Cádiz has some of the most desirable beaches for surfers. Why? Because of its waves and because of the wind that always blows in this area. This, together with the great climate that is enjoyed almost all year round, has made this a surfing paradise. We are going to visit some of the best beaches in Cadiz. You come?
The best beaches in Cádiz : Tarifa
Some say that Tarifa is the European capital of the wind because here it blows almost 300 days a year. For this reason it has become the ideal place for surfers. Also for visitors who just want to enjoy a day of sun, beach and, above all, the show.
But Tarifa has much more than wind for surfers, it has an appropriate swell and, in addition to that, the water temperature in this area is not too cold. For this reason, it is common to see amateurs practicing in these waters even in the winter months.
And, if what you want is to learn, no problem. In Tarifa, in addition to some of the best beaches in Cádiz, there are several surf schools where you can get started in this sport.
Bolonia Beach
This beach is perhaps the best known in Tarifa, and is considered one of the best in Europe. It is perfect for surfing and, especially, kitesurfing . Just going to admire the show is worth it. But also, even if you don’t practice these sports, there is much to see and do on Bolonia beach.
This beach is also ideal for swimming, because the wind does not hit as many days a year or with as much force as in others. In addition, it is a real pleasure for its huge sand dunes.
And, to the north, we find the ruins of Baelo Claudia, a settlement from Roman times where you can still see the remains of the facilities that were used to make salted fish and a famous sauce at that time to which properties were attributed aphrodisiacs.
Not only will you be able to admire the ruins, but when you are there you will see the impressive enclave in which they are located. Sea in front and forest on the sides. Spectacular.
Punta Paloma
It is one of the best beaches in Cádiz and one of the most charming. It extends right under a huge dune of fine golden sand that is blown away by the easterly winds. On clear days, you can clearly see the African coast from it. Due to its conditions, it is also a perfect beach for windsurfing and kitesurfing .
El Palmar, Vejer de la Frontera
El Palmar beach is one of the best in the entire province in many ways. On the one hand, due to its length, eight kilometers. On the other, because it is a semi-virgin beach, barely urbanized. And also, its waters are transparent and shallow at first.
A beach with excellent conditions for surfing, kitesurfing and other water sports. Due to the consistency of its waves, it is perfect both for those who want to learn and for those who already have experience in these sports.
Caños de Meca
Located in the municipality of Barbate, Caños de Meca also hides some of the best beaches in Cádiz. The most appreciated, the one next to the Trafalgar lighthouse, a beach with strong waves, sought after by experienced surfers.
Levante Beach
Located in Puerto de Santa María, it is more than four kilometers long and is also a claim for surfers and those who want to spend a different day at the beach. Its sand, almost like that of the Caribbean, and its crystal clear waters attract hundreds of people every year.
These are some of the best beaches in Cádiz, perfect for relaxing on the sand or practicing water sports. But on the Cadiz coast there are many more treasures, such as Yerbabuena beach in Barbate, Roche beach in Conil or Costa Ballena in Rota.
