One of my all-time favourite beaches ever

Great location, inaccessibility is part of its charm so its self-selective in who goes there. We brought an umbrella/tent for shade and most people did likewise. Also, beware of mobile phone coverage ... we're 20 km from Morocco across the dea but the beach is...More

In my World top ten!

What a superb beach! On our own for over an hour, then only another 12 or so turned up. Clean immaculate sand, crystal clear water, freedom of naturism without fear - in a word FANTASTIC!

Worth the 40" walk you'll have to do to hit this hidden gem: you'll be positively pleased how fast your tiredness will dissolve by staring few minutes at this paradise beach and its Caribbean sea!!! A MUST!!!!☀️

Virgen y paradisíaca si la respetamos

Excellent virgin beaches, since it is located in a military land. Access from Punta Caamarinal, with spectacular views from the Straingth of Gibraltar and Africa. The best time to go is with Poniente wind rather than Levantes, unless this is not strong

Amazing!!

One of the best beaches that I ever been. Absolutely love this place, quite, peaceful. The view from the top of the hill is just breath taking. Hopefully it stays like this, with nothing around, just wild.

Nice beach, good tip, often you are protected by the wind here !!!!

Nice alternative to the larger beaches, and depending on wind, an option for the surfers... This beach is a bit like the one in Point Break, where they do not appreciate newcomers !! No, I am taking the pi.. although this seems to attract a...More

Excellent!

As all the other reviews have mentioned, access is a bit difficult but it was well worth it. Make sure you take whatever you need: towels, water, alcohol, umbrellas. Very very hot!

Best beach

Maybe the beach is a little bit hidden and not that easy to reach but just that makes this bay maybe the best beach of tarifa/bolonia. Absolutely a must go. Even if that means a 20 minutes walk through the forest.
