Bolonia beach is more than just that; it is a natural environment with areas of practically untouched nature, fine white sand, crystal blue waters, and a refreshing sea air. It’s a really clean beach, and the seas are among the clearest in the vicinity. Visitors recognize that it is a unique natural setting and treat it with respect. The beach stretches for roughly 4 kilometers and is 70 meters wide.
The region of Cádiz is distinguished for its white sand beaches, many of which are located in natural settings. The coastal location can be quite windy, and the sea often has large waves, making it a surfer’s dream.
The beach is located within El Estrecho Natural Park, which promotes environmental preservation and prohibits the growth of urban developers.

What to see there
With the wild Bolonia Sand Dunes tumbling down to the blue water and dazzling views of Africa only an arms-length away, there’s much to do in Bolonia. The beach is lined with Roman ruins, snorkeling, walkways, and lively beach bars where you may take a break from the sun.
Bolonia Beach and Dunes is one of Andalusia’s best beaches, and I’ll walk you through all you need to know to have the best day possible on this 4 km long and 70 meter wide natural beauty.
The Dune
Bolonia’s greatest natural attraction is the dune. It’s a massive structure that the wind has built up over time and is constantly changing. In fact, the dune changes depending on when you visit. Don’t miss out on the uploading experience. Many people climb there to view the sunset and ride their surfboards down the sand. Also, don’t forget to bring a camera to document the experience.
The local vegetation of the area, may be seen from the surrounding cliffs. The Corema is a tiny bush that gives its name to the neighboring Camarinal lighthouse. One of the things that people of all ages enjoy is climbing to the summit and then sliding down.
The Ancón
The beach of Bolonia is quiet and wild, and in some areas, such as the Ancón, adjacent to the Gran Duna, it is permissible to practice nudism (Great Sand Dune). Natural pools, can be seen on the eastern side, formed by seawater trapped between the rocks when the sea level drops. Because there are no roads leading there, you’ll have to walk to get there; however, this provides you the advantage of locating a quieter and less congested spot than the main beach area.
Other activities
Bolonia and its surroundings are a windsurfing, kitesurfing, and paddlesurfing paradise. You can learn these disciplines or rent equipment to enjoy them on the south side of the beach; its location gives it the ideal site to practice these sports; from the beach, you can see a wind kite show in the distance as well as magnificent pirouettes.
Aside from the beach, take a stroll through the stores and restaurants in the town and sample the local cuisine, which include fresh seafood from the shore and vegetables from the area’s orchards.
How to get there
Bolonia beach is the natural continuation of Zahara de los Atunes beach to the south. It’s only 20 minutes from Tarifa and a little more than an hour from Cádiz’s city.
There is no public transportation and access is difficult. To get to Tarifa, take the N-340 from Zahara. After the Facinas crossing, there is a sign that says Bolonia, which is around Km 70. The beach is 8 kilometers away from this intersection.
We advise caution because the road is winding and narrow, especially if it is raining or visibility is poor. There are various parking lots in Bolonia. Parking is only an issue on the peak summer days. The rest of the year should be good.
Tips to enjoy Bolonia
Despite its isolated location, Bolonia is a popular tourist attraction that attracts an increasing number of visitors each year. The beach is highly busy, therefore we should avoid going in the midst of the summer if we want to see everything in peace.
Furthermore, during the summer, the sun can become overbearing in the middle of the day, causing issues when we go up to the dunes. Besides, the wind is usually blowing, which is one of the area’s distinguishing characteristics. Many people are hesitant to come because they believe the wind, particularly the easterly wind, would be bothersome, which is why we advise you to check the weather forecast.
Because this beach has few pubs and businesses, expect the prices to be a little higher. It’s usually a good idea to bring something with us, but because this is a protected natural area, be careful about leaving anything behind.
