Rada Tilly

Rada Tilly is a coastal town situated between two headlands, stretching along several kilometers of fine sand beaches on the San Jorge Gulf. The bay creates an open, gentle shoreline where the beaches slope gradually into the water.

The town takes its name from a Spanish naval captain from the 18th century, whose legacy remains part of its identity. The settlement later developed as a harbor community in this sheltered bay.

The town is known for its active community life, with local artistic events and performances happening regularly throughout the year. You can see residents and visitors gathering in public spaces near the waterfront for celebrations and exhibitions.

The town is reached via the main highway that connects directly to the coast. The beaches are easily accessible with wide, flat expanses suitable for various activities.

The beach is recognized as one of the world's finest locations for landsailing, a sport where people sail vehicles across sand. This specialized use of the flat coastal zone has earned the area a reputation among enthusiasts of this sport.
