Kitesurf Beach at Los Lances, Tarifa

A World-Class Wind-Sports Beach

Playa de Los Lances stretches for several kilometres of fine golden sand along the Strait of Gibraltar, where the relentless Levante and Poniente winds make it one of the planet's most celebrated spots for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The webcam frames a sweeping panorama of breaking surf, distant sails and an immense open shore.

Protected Dunes and Boardwalks

Backed by a protected natural area of rolling dunes and coastal scrub, the beach is crossed by a long weathered wooden boardwalk that carries visitors out to the sand. The untamed setting keeps this stretch wild and uncrowded despite its fame.

Tarifa, Europe's Windsurfing Capital

Sitting at the southern tip of Tarifa, the camera looks out across the vivid waters where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. On clear days the coastline of Morocco rises across the strait, framing one of the most dramatic coastal vistas in southern Europe.
