Alojera Beach

Infinite cliffs

Playa de Alojera is located in the town of the same name in the municipality of Vallehermoso. The beach is one of the largest and most beautiful on La Gomera. Its dimensions are 200 metres by 40 metres. There is black, volcanic sand and crystal clear waters which make it a popular spot for people visiting the area. This is a rustic setting to enjoy the ocean. There is an old, abandoned pier nearby. Amenities include showers and a site for food and drink.

Infinite cliffs

The beach has an impressive location. It’s surrounded by cliffs that reach into the ocean. To get to the site it’s best to travel along the main road that goes from Vallehermoso to Valle Gran Rey. After that you need to take a secondary road that goes to the towns of Epina and Alojera. The beach is just a kilometre away from the town of Alojera and access is available either on foot or by car.

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.
