Los Lances Beach
Playa de Los Lances
Several kilometers of white sand right next to the town, lined with kitesurfing schools and beach bars. It is the centre of Tarifa's surf culture.
Los Lances Beach stretches about 7 kilometers northwest from the town, backed by the wetlands and dunes of the nature reserve of the same name. It is the starting point for kitesurfing and windsurfing, and dozens of surf schools, equipment rental shops and beach bars, known as chiringuitos, line the shore. Introductory lessons take about 3 hours and cost 150-200 euros. Those who do not surf can walk the boardwalk or watch the sunset. When the strong levante easterly wind blows, sand swirls through the air, so the beach is not ideal for sunbathing. It can be reached on foot from the old town.
