You dream of Horse riding at the beach, then Bolonia is your place.

Zahara de los Atunes

Where Tarifa is bliss for energetic kitesurfers and partygoers, Zahara is more innocent, a let-it-all-hang-out family destination. In the heart of many Spanish for its beautiful beach and delicious Red Tuna.
The most famous beach is the "Playa de los Alemanes" surrounded by small hills and crystal waters.

El Palmar

The hippie surf town of the South. El Palmar is a long stretch of beach with multiple peaks and nice small waves during the summer months. You can hire surfboards or take a surf lesson. If you feel too lazy go and treat yourself at Casa Juan for an amazing "Arroz con Carabineros", a typical Spanish seafood dish. For sunset, get a cocktail while enjoying live music in one of the many Chiringuitos of the town.

Canos de Meca

Little laid-back Los Caños de Meca, 16km southwest of Vejer, straggles along a series of spectacular open white-sand beaches that will leave you wondering why Marbella even exists.
