Bolonia beach, Playa de Bolonia, also sometimes known as Ensenada de Bolonia sits next to a small fishing village, approximately 20km north of Tarifa. Far quieter than its more trendy neighbour, Bolonia is beginning to make a name for itself having been voted into Europe's top 25 beaches by Tripadvisor and regularly featuring on any best beaches in Spain shortlist.Despite the increasing international recognition, it is still considered by many as one of Andalucia's best kept secrets and is only really popular with Spanish tourists.
When asking Spanish families where their favorite beaches are; Bolonia is one name that always seems to crop up. We try and go at least once a year.
Some of the hip surfers and kite-surfers are making their way down to the beach when the easterly wind - the Levante - picks up, but generally speaking, Bolonia beach still has a untouched/family-oriented feel to it.
Geography
Geography is something that has worked in Bolonia’s favour, you need to drive 7km along the CA-8202 to get there. Sitting in a cul-de-sac, there is no drive thru traffic. If on that road, you only have one destination. The beach.
The area sits within the Estrecho Natural Park, El Parque Natural del Estrecho. Planning and construction laws have been rigorously introduced and enforced. None of the twenty or so buildings that make up the village (El Lentiscal) are over two storeys high. Bar a few chiringuitos, surfing schools and hostels, Bolonia remains the perfect place for travellers looking for peace and tranquillity.
The beach was best known for its huge sand dune system, one of the largest in Europe. One particular dune has been declared an Andalusian natural monument and is over 30m in height and 200m in width. The dunes and the vegetation provide protection against the wind.
