Situated on an isthmus which leads to Isla de las Palomas at the southernmost tip of the town of Tarifa, Playa Chica’s location is unique. From the beach, beachgoers can see the African plains, as well as the meeting point of the Meditteranean sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Although it’s small, the beach is constantly bustling with activity as it is right beside town. At Playa Chica, lounge on sunbeds and take in one-of-a-kind views, and go for a swim in its clear turquoise waters.
But Playa Chica isn’t just for beachgoers looking to relax; it also offers amenities for adventurers and thrill-seekers. At Playa Chica, paraglide in clear blue skies. Set out into the ocean in banana boats. Snorkel at the beach’s closed-off cove and observe colorful exotic fish in their natural habitat. Or even feed bread to piranhas during their feeding frenzies, although it’s not recommended. After a day of adventure, beachgoers head to Playa Chica’s surrounding bars and hole-in-the-wall Spanish restaurants, which offer authentic tapas and great drinks.
