Camping Jara is the stretch of Los Lances beach located in front of Camping Río Jara, between the Los Lances Norte kite zone and the river mouth, 4 km from Tarifa. A wide sandy beach, with the Río Jara lagoon and its wooden posts behind it, and the Strait and the Moroccan coast in front. It is a Poniente spot: the west-southwest wind comes in side-onshore, more constant here than next to the large car park, with choppy sea and suitable for all levels outside of summer. It is the main spot for the low and mid-season. With Levante the wind comes from offshore, strong and gusty, without rescue: for experts only. Hazards and rules: the mouth of the Río Jara (to the southeast) has a very strong current and must not be crossed; the lagoon and the river channel are a Natural Area and it is forbidden to ride inside the posts, with fines. From 15 June to 15 September this stretch is a swimming zone and kite is forbidden; the summer kite zones are in Los Lances Norte and Valdevaqueros. Most people park in the Los Lances Norte car park (football pitch) and walk or ride to here; campers launch directly from the campsite, which has showers, a supermarket and a restaurant. Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
