Playa de Ávalo

Playa de Ávalo is one of those natural gems that captivates those seeking peace away from tourist crowds. Located just a few kilometers north of San Sebastián de La Gomera, this beach features dark volcanic sand and pebbles, offering spectacular views of Mount Teide, creating a unique postcard of the Canary archipelago. Protected on both sides, its waters are usually calm, ideal for a relaxing swim or snorkeling exploration.

What makes this beach special is its authentic and uncrowded character. It has a nearby parking area for easy access, and you can walk here from the island's capital via the GR-132 trail, a highly recommended route for hiking enthusiasts. Among its curiosities are the striking silver balls of Bahía de Ávalos, a natural element that surprises visitors. Perfect for those who prefer nature in its purest form, without services or crowds.
