Playa del Inglés

The best beach in La Gomera, nudists and nearby amenities

Since the seventies, Playa del Inglés in La Gomera, has been a legendary destination for 'hippy' and alternative movements. Unlike other unspoilt and naturist beaches in the Canary Islands, this destination is close to restaurants, entertainment and other services. There is even a sports centre. It is a short walk to the volcanic sand where one can relax and take in the views of the mountains and the endless ocean. The perfect holiday cocktail.

Swimming in the calm seas of Valle Gran Rey in the south of La Gomera

Located in the south-westernmost corner of the beautiful Valle Gran Rey, this beach benefits greatly from a generally calm ocean. At certain times visitors to the beach must watch out for waves, but its peaceful waters contrast dramatically with those of other wild coves. The guaranteed sunshine, the large expanses of sand at low tide and the liberal atmosphere on this beach in the south of La Gomera are all good reasons to visit and enjoy a stroll on the sands. The sunsets are so good that it’s really a crime not to wait for them.

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.
