Torre de la Pena
Spain · Andalousie
Torre de la Peña is a historic spot located in Tarifa, Andalusia, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar with spectacular views of Africa. It has primarily been a windsurfing hotspot since its founding in 1968, but kitesurfing is also practiced here, although the launch conditions can be tricky depending on the wind configurations.
The beach is small and sandy with some exposed rocks. The atmosphere of the spot is infused with watersports culture, attracting a community of enthusiasts who appreciate its prime location and rich history. The adjacent camping offers direct access to the beach and allows for full enjoyment of the coastal environment.

Torre de la Peña primarily works with the Levante, a very strong east wind that can reach 40 knots. This air blows offshore in the Tarifa bay, creating a very flat and clean water surface with a small regular swell that offers a good kicker for jumps. However, launching kites can be complicated due to beach conditions.
The beach itself is small and sandy, which limits the riding space compared to larger spots like Los Lances. The spot is more suited for advanced and expert riders seeking adrenaline and technical conditions. The turquoise water and panoramic views of the strait add to the charm of the place, even though swimming is easier at low tide.
In summer, the water surface becomes flat to slightly choppy. The spot benefits from the proximity of the camping and a beach bar for after-session relaxation, but services are more limited than elsewhere in Tarifa.
