Cala de Timijiraque

Beach relaxation very close to La Estaca

A few metres from Puerto de la Estaca, nature lovers will enjoy Timijiraque, a practically virgin beach. In summer, it is one of the most popular stretches of water for swimmers, while, in winter, the force of the sea makes it a draw for surfers. Beyond a small tunnel, there is also a cove with peculiar black sand.

Rest, walks, and children's fun

350 meters long and 20 meters wide, Timijiraque Beach is one of the largest stretches of sand on the island of El Hierro. Although the Atlantic Ocean is forceful in this area, an air of tranquillity presides along the shore. Timijiraque is a divine rest spot, an ideal location for promenade walks, and fun for the little ones who will enjoy the children's play area.

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.
