Playa de La Cueva

Spectacular views of Mount Teide

A track next to the pier in San Sebastián de La Gomera, on the east of the island, takes you to La Cueva, one of the two beaches in the capital city. With dark sand and calm seas, it has the perfect conditions for a wonderful day at the beach with friends or family. The views are truly spectacular: this little spot on La Gomera affords one of the best views of Mount Teide. It is perfect for disconnecting, enjoying the silence, the sun and a dip in the crystal-clear water, in a truly relaxing atmosphere.

One of the best settings on La Gomera

This beautiful, well-kept beach is not usually very busy, so peace and quiet is guaranteed. It is very comfortable for users, as there is parking close by and adapted access for people with reduced mobility, in addition to other services such as showers. Nearby restaurants and “chiringuitos” (beach bars) where you can get your strength back with some delicious, traditional dishes from Canary Islands gastronomy add the finishing touch to the perfect day. Being in an urban setting does not in any way detract from the special charm that characterises this beach and captivates all who visit it.

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.
