Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Caletón de los Cangrejos consists of small natural pools among crags, in a pristine, isolated cliff area. The rocky shore is 50 metres long and 25 metres wide, and the entry records wind and strong waves, together with nudism. It can be reached only on foot, via a route described as easy, with the GC-202 and interurban bus services on the Gáldar 103–105 routes as references. Official observation warns of the danger of bathing when the waves are strong.
