The sandy beach of Los Gigantes is rarely crowded with tourists. Nearby is the marina, near which you can find many bars and restaurants. It also offers a good view of the nearby island of La Gomera. Here you can go scuba diving, kayaking, water skiing, fishing, as well as enjoy whales and dolphins. A study boat trip will cost at least 10-15 euros per person.
On the beach there are sunbeds and umbrellas for a comfortable beach holiday. The safety of swimming in Los Gigantes is guaranteed by rescue personnel. Nevertheless, one must keep in mind the strong currents that are frequent off the coast of the beach.
