Not aware of a graveyard but there are shipwrecks all along the coast. Most are clear in Google Earth looking at the pics people have uploaded

Hahaha, its called the 'boat cemetery' on the Tarfaya website not a graveyard

I know there are many wrecks, I guess I will just have to drive up the coast road and look for them

I really hope that ferry is still there, would make a fantastic photo op if we can get on the thing

Are they pictures of it on this website/forum somewhere?

cheers

Hello kingkurt

Have you looked on Google maps with the photo option ticked? Loads of photos of ships around Tarfaya on there.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
