Tarifa's neighbouring bay is called Bolonia. The two bays are separated by the mountain of San Bartolo.
The beach of Bolonia is one of the most beautiful ones in all of Andalusia. The fine, white sand comes up to the expectations of even the most demanding visitor.
The bay of Bolonia with its sand dune at the top end is amazingly similar to the bay of Tarifa. One can say that the bay of Bolonia is a miniature edition of the bay of Tarifa.
Bolonia on the Costa de la Luz is a secret spot amongst windsurfers. Compared to Tarifa, Bolonia has about 1-2 beaufort less wind on strong Levante days and provides more constant winds being less gusty.
Two winds are dominating this part of the coast: the strong and warm Levante wind, and the weaker and cooler Poniente wind. Depending on your level of windsurfing you may want to choose between the spots of Bolonia and Tarifa.
