El Medio

A beach with two sisters

Playa del Medio beach has dark sand mixed with gravel. It’s part of a series of consecutive beaches, including Chinguarime beach and Tapahuga beach. Like its sister beaches, El Medio belongs to the municipality of San Sebastián de La Gomera. It’s a popular spot with nudists because it’s located in an isolated environment that’s difficult to access.

Road access

Playa del Medio beach has dimensions of 350 metres by 50 metres. To get there by car you need to travel along the GM-3 to nearby Tapahuga beach. From there a dirt track takes you to your destination.

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.
