When the winds get too strong in Tarifa, which is often the case, it's a good idea to head further west towards Barbate. The water is crystal clear and the winds are generally more gentle. Just north of Barbate is one of the best beaches in Spain for surfing in the winter. Scuba lovers can also find some fantastic spots off the Barbate coast. However, if you don't fancy getting wet, there are boat excursions to far located fishing grounds. Another option is to book a dolphin-watching cruise, as there are hundreds of species of dolphins in the Straits and beyond.There are other activities that have nothing to do with water sports, such as hiking or biking. There are easy tracks in the medium mountain ranges to more difficult ones for the more experienced hikers and bikers.
