Playa de En Medio o de los Alemanes, Sand beach in Tarifa, Spain.
Playa de En Medio stretches for roughly a kilometer with fine golden sand and moderate waves that suit various water activities. The shoreline is accessible and provides ample space for different beach uses.
The beach held strategic importance for centuries along southern Spain's coast and contains remains of defensive structures from different historical periods. These structures show how the region faced repeated need for protection.
The name 'Los Alemanes' reflects international connections to this coastal area, where locals and visitors alike engage in water sports and shape the rhythm of beach life.
Access is via wooden boardwalks and there are over 100 parking spaces near the beach. Public transportation connects the location to nearby towns and makes arrival easier.
Nearby a small cove leads to natural rock pools at Cala de los Alemanes, creating swimming spots sheltered from eastern winds. This hidden addition to the main beach often goes unnoticed.
