Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de la Guancha, also known as Punta de la Guancha, is an untouched, isolated rocky cove in north-western Gáldar. It measures only 25 metres long and 3 metres wide, combining wind with strong waves on a mountainous stretch. The listing records nudism and states that it is reached on foot, with the GC-2 and the interurban bus on the Gáldar line as access references. Its small scale and lack of development define the character of this coastal site.
