La Guancha Beach

A beach in a virgin environment

Located in a virgin environment, three kilometres from the capital of La Gomera, this beach stretches to 500 metres long and 70 metres wide. Its volcanic sand and blue water are framed by mountainous peaks. Because of the wildness of the place it’s a perfect spot for nature lovers.

A walking route

One of the most interesting ways to access this beach is by taking a three-hour route from San Sebastián de La Gomera. This route, of moderate difficulty, offers impressive views of the capital, as well as Mount Teide, which will be behind you as you advance towards 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.
