San Sebastian de la Gomera - all beaches

This secluded spot was a great destination for my yoga retreat in January 2020. It's only accessible by private boat, and the quiet atmosphere was perfect for a peaceful getaway. I had an incredibly enriching experience here and would highly recommend it.

Great overall, but the sand to lay on isn't very comfortable. However, the sand closer to the water is much nicer.

Playa de la Caleta has all the amenities you could need, but the waves and large boulders make it a bit too wild for swimming. The views of Tenwriy and Teide are great, but the sea is often too choppy. Access is not too difficult, but the 4 km of winding roads with plenty of inclines can be a bit of a challenge. Toilet facilities are clean, though the beach bar is closed. There's also a recreational area with tables and chairs, as well as a hermitage. All in all, it's a great spot for sightseeing, but not ideal for swimming.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Playa del Medio on four occasions while in La Gomera. Hotel Jardin Tecina is only a 40 minute walk away, but you can also hire a bike or drive. The road is a bit narrow in some places, so caution is advised when passing other cars. There is a small carpark where camper vans park up. The beach has a laid-back atmosphere and everyone is so friendly. The sun-warmed pebbles are perfect for sunbathing, and you can choose to wear a swimsuit or not. There are even semi-circle wind breaks made from pebbles for those who want a bit of privacy. There are also lizards living among the pebbles that you can feed with bananas and apples. Just be careful as they may mistake your fingers for fruit! When the wind is strong, the waves and currents can be quite strong, so you may want

If you're looking for a beach day that's a bit of a challenge, then this is the place for you! The long trek can be quite a workout, and with no shade, it can be a bit of a scorcher. We followed the directions but had to turn back part way through - it was a close call getting back to the car! If you're not up for a bit of an adventure, then you'd be better off choosing another beach.

Great place to visit. It's peaceful and tranquil, with people in caravans enjoying their stay without feeling any stress. Although bathing can be risky when the tide is strong, the beach is still clean and the views of Tenerife are spectacular. It's a great spot to spend a relaxing day!
