Heredia Beach

A beach for contemplation

Playa de Heredia is located in Valle del Gran Rey which is the second most populated municipality in La Gomera. The beach is only accessible by boat. Also, there are strong waves in the area, so it’s not recommended for swimming. The landscape is fabulous however.

Valle del Gran Rey, the incredible municipality

The municipality of Valle del Gran Rey is located in a beautiful ravine in the west of La Gomera. There is a great offering for visitors. Within the territory there are places such as Arure, Taguluche, and Las Hayas. Although for years agriculture and fishing were the main economic drivers, currently tourism is the most important source of income.
