Charco del Conde

The most family-friendly natural pool in La Gomera

If you are looking for a quieter bathing spot for the kids in La Gomera, this is it, without doubt. Situated in Valle Gran Rey, one of the most beautiful corners of the Canary Islands, this natural pool is perfect for adults and children. At high tide the pool provides a pleasant lake for all ages to swim in, and when the tides starts to ebb away smaller children can have loads of fun in a pool that is almost always protected from the open seas.

The perfect pool in Valle Gran Rey with sand and services nearby

The pool takes its name from the lord of the island following the conquests of the 15th Century. Its easy access from the road alongside, the cleanliness, rubbish bins, green zone and the sand, where you can set out towels and put up parasols, makes this the perfect spot for a family day at the beach pretty much all year round. The proximity of other beaches and the village centre add the final touches in making this an ideal place for fun, sun, food and relaxation.

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 water.
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.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
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.
Pets are prohibited at many natural pools. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
