La Sepultura Beach

Fine sand to walk on

This virgin beach in the north of La Gomera is 400 metres long and 30 metres wide. It’s made up of a mixture of sand and stones. Because of the northern location the crystal clear water can get rough at times and strong waves can hit the coast.

A haven for surfing

Surfers love this beach for its waves. Visitors to the area should note that the spot is far from urban centres, and there aren’t the sort of services you might find in busier locations, so it’s important to bring provisions.

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.
