Punta Paloma, Beach in Tarifa, Spain

The beach features a 100-meter-high sand dune formation along the coastline, with golden sands extending toward the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meeting point.

Military installations from the mid-20th century, including concrete gun emplacements that housed three Vickers cannons, remain visible near the beach area.

Natural mud baths at the western section of the beach allow visitors to experience traditional skin treatments using grey sand mixed with seawater.

Access requires a 300-meter walk from the parking area, with early arrival recommended during summer months between June and September.

The natural sand dune system continuously moves and grows, covering local vegetation and creating an ever-changing landscape visible from multiple viewpoints.
