We stayed in the Hotel Madreselva in Caños- The beaches are beautiful and so is the pine forest, We ate in Vejer in the Casa de Califa - great food and garden and then went to Tarifa and spent a few nights in the Hotel Punta Sur!
Palmar Beach has a slight hippy feel to it. It is friendly and feels safe and there were life guards on duty too. We liked the beach bars- very laid back - a contrast to the Costa de Sol. Watch the waves and the current though- they can be fierce. Plenty of sand!
This is a long empty expanse of a beach. It is not overwhelmed with hotels and development. It is going back in time. Large waves...cool Atlantic water...incredible vistas.
Found this beach on the penultimate day of our holiday, we will be back! Vast expanses of clean sand and the best waves yet. We all had great fun diving through and riding the waves, just wish we'd had a body board! It was busy, but we didn't have an trouble finding somewhere to park, even found a free spot, even if you did pay, the most expensive I saw was 3 euros.Great day!
Beautiful sweep of golden sand but extremely crowded, which is to be expected at the height of the summer.
If your holidaying in the area do go to this beach, It's great for surfing and boogey boarding, it has a laid back feel and is also a bit younger in demographic.One word of waring do not leave valuables in the car
Beautiful beach, I have never visited one cleaner! A lovely and relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of places to get something to eat or drink within a short distance.
A glorious expanse of sandy beach with a great variety of beach bars, restaurants and shops/stalls. Free Parking can be difficult to find at busy times, so would suggest biting the bullet and paying the 3 Euros to park in one of the many paid car parks.
We're visiting lot of beaches close to Tarifa and Palmar I like more then all. Clean, enough larch and secure beach. Lot of pubs,close to the ocean parking g that very comfy. Minus was broken shower and lot of ppl.-)) for this 4 ball
Love this beach for 11 months a year.... :) In August it is a bit crowded. Great for walks for km's, great waves, lovely sandy beach. Nice bars for tapas and bears, but also nice restaurants!
