Chica Beach
Tarifa is known for its constant winds, which make it an ideal place for practicing certain sports, mainly windsurfing and kitesurfing. When tarifeños want to spend a day at the beach, they go to Playa Chica. There, instead of kites and boards, you can enjoy quiet sun. It is a family beach with few tourists. You can snorkel or scuba dive here too, but there are better beaches for it. If you come to Playa Chica it is to witness a scene that is very familiar in Spain: the husband sat on the sand, while his wife, accompanied by her mother and some of his in-laws, hand out tortilla chips and Coca Cola out of the cooler, shouting loudly to children, running through the sand bothering other families with a loud radio playing.
Olé! This is Spain. And if after seeing this show, you fancy seeing whales in their natural habitat, congratulations, you're in the right place. It does not cost much to take out a boat from which you can see different types of whales and dolphins.
