Bolonia Beach & Dune
Playa y Duna de Bolonia
An unspoiled bay with white sand, where the 30-meter Bolonia Dunes at the western end are a natural monument, with Roman ruins behind them.
Bolonia Bay has been named one of Spain's most beautiful beaches. Its roughly 4 km of fine white sand and clear water are backed by only a small fishing village and a few seafood restaurants. At the western end, the Bolonia Dunes rise about 30 meters and are a nationally protected natural monument. You can climb them for views over the bay, and pine forest lies behind them. The beach is about 23 km from Tarifa, a 25-minute drive. Parking fills up quickly in summer, so plan to combine it with a visit to the Baelo Claudia ruins on the same day.
