La Trinchera - all beaches

This stunning spot is accessible by boat or on foot via Etapa 8 of the GR132 route of the island. It's a terrific idea to book a stay at the hotel to enjoy the many entertaining activities available. This secluded and special area of the island is surrounded by a wonderful natural park.

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.

But it's worth it! You'll find a huge, lonely beach with crystal clear water and the added bonus of free public entry. The stones may be a bit of a nuisance for those not used to them, but overall it's an amazing experience!
