I've been to Bolonia 5 times. With my first wife and son some years ago, with my second wife a couple of times in the last couple of years from our home in the Serranía de Ronda, with German in-laws last year and with German step-children on my birthday this year.It's actually our favourite beach, of all the ones we've tried.However, I've yet to see a nude or a sunbed! Obviously we go to the wrong bits of the beach.Baelo Claudio, the Roman settlement referred to by another poster, is simply stunning.
mooi schoon strandwinkeltje in de buurt en een aangenaam strandtentjeweinig tot geen faciliteiten op het strand zelf
A fantastic beach, basically unspoilt with an enormous sand dune at one end. The water is very nice and warmer than on Costa del Sol. When the mist lifts in the afternoon you can see the African coast across the straits. And if you want to do something more intellectual than sunbathing, you can visit the Roman ruins of the old settlement a few meters from the beach.There are a couple of restaurants near the beach, nothing fancy but they serve what you need. There are also possibilities to stay overnight, but we always go on day trips. 1½ hours driving from Costa del Sol.
15 minutes past Tarifa, is this amazing beach - the same white soft sand but with the added bonus of a massive sand dune (which the kids love to trek up and roll down). Seriously this is a big dune which will take 20 minutes to walk up.The beach is next to Baelo Claudia - (apparently) the most preserved Roman Village outside of Italy - these ruins are magnificent and well worth the journey (entrance was free because we were British,, not sure why though)
e' incantevole!! è tappa obbligata per la visita all'Andalisia. è vero che noi italiani di resti romani ne abbiamo tantissimi, ma qui sono sulla spiaggia e il paesaggio è davvero bello! La vista poi sul marocco è affascinate e incantevole è la Duna. Sono arrivata alla spiaggi di Bolonia dalla passeggiata partendo dal faro di Paloma... bello!
I shouldn't be writing this, as a part of me thinks this should be a hidden gem, but this beach is incredible. White sand, crystal clear water and hard to get to... all good points, as it keeps the beach not too crowded. It's a very big beach too, which means, if you really want to get away from the more crowded area all you have to do is park the car and walk east for half an hour or so... The roman ruins and the free range cattle make it an even more interesting place.Hardly no accommodation round the area (another good point) so you might have to stay in a nearby town, such as Tarifa or Vejer...
What a beautiful beach - I was there with my son who lives in Gibraltar a couple of days ago. The beach is about 14 miles by road from Tarifa - it is about 4 kilometres in length, is unspoiled and stretches away to an impressive sand dune at one end. It is backed by natural countryside stretching up to the backdrop of the mountains. There are 2 chiringuitos where you can spend time relaxing and drinking and talking. Then there is the added attraction of the remains of the Roman town of Baelo Claudia just off the beach which are very interesting to visit. The day we were there there was a small market just back from the beach.
Water is colder than in the mediterranean. Apart from that, it is definitely the best beach in its category. You cannot miss this beach if you are within two-hours drive of the place.
My wife and i spent the afternoon on Bolinia during our anniversary trip in may 2010.. Great beach and on the clear day we could see africa, a real treat for us Americans..Enjoyed cerveas and appetizers at the cantina on the beach. Good food and beer at inexpensive prices. Can not comment on hotels. Wewereonly passing through on the way to malaga. Roman ruin was closed for the day, Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return
We visited Bolonia late in the evening in April and it was a little chilly. We had the entire beach to ourselves. Beautiful white sand. Nice for shell/rock hunting. It was a little windy, but this area is known for wind. There are supposed to be some Roman Ruins nearby, but we weren't able to find them.
