Arinaga beach

Energy by the sea

Arinaga is a coastal municipality full of wind turbines that generate electricity. A local area with hardly any tourists, it’s easy to fall in love with. There’s a two-kilometre walk along the coast connecting the Arinaga beach, the natural saltwater pools, and the original Zoco Negro badlands beach, which has volcanic origins. There are huge hammocks scattered throughout these beaches. The walk culminates at the Risco Verde natural bathing pool.

Lookout Point

If all that isn’t enough, Arinaga’s lighthouse, located in front of El Cabrón beach and reached by walking through the badlands, is a stunning lookout point. There are restaurants on the pier and different water sports are available. You can also check out historic lime kilns.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
- Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
- Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
