History of Tambor

The beach of Tambor is easily accessed with a car and you find shade under almond and palm trees. The volcanic history of the sand serves up a grey-colored beach which gently slopes into the bay. Low tide produces a broad expanse of fine sand where you can play beach volley ball and soccer. The shallow waters are exceedingly calm and offer good swimming for even the most timid of bathers.

A local breeding program for scarlet macaws successfully re-introduced the species in the area around Tambor and sometimes you see flocks of these gregarious, large parrots foraging the almond trees on the Tambor beach
