03 · Location

In context.

A remote, unserviced 500 m pebble-and-sand beach on Gran Canaria's windy southeast coast, near the El Cabrón reserve area and the Pozo Izquierdo windsurf zone, drawing windsurfers over swimmers. Shallows hold large pebble stones, algae-slippery in places; in strong wind, shorebreak can throw riders and gear back onto the beach. No facilities, no lifeguard cover; water shoes advisable, and low tide near new or full moon gives lighter breaks.
