Your guide to La Gomera holidays

Top attractions
While the island is one of the smallest of the Canaries, there’s much more to it than you may think. If you love hiking, shopping, and exploring the great outdoors, you’ll find lots of things to do in La Gomera.
- Hiking is a huge draw here, and La Gomera walking holidays are massively popular. One of the best destinations for hikers is the UNESCO site of La Garajonay National Park. The park boasts stunning forest scenery and challenging mountain peaks, which make for truly spectacular walks on the island.
- If you’re not particularly outdoorsy, don’t worry! You’ll love the vibrant capital of San Sebastian; the port from which Columbus set sail on his way to America. Not only are there fantastic shopping opportunities here, but it’s also the gateway for island hopping over to Los Cristianos in Tenerife.
- Another lovely little town is Playa Santiago on the island’s south coast. Families love it here thanks to the safe pebble beach and charming beachfront hotels. It’s also earned a reputation as the golfing hub of La Gomera, with fairways on the Lomada de Tecina offering spectacular views across the Atlantic.
- While the south coast is known for its golf, the north is famous for its bananas. The agricultural town of Hermigua is at the heart of the island’s thriving banana industry, with thick banana groves leading down to one of the island’s stunning volcanic beaches. If you’re looking for something different, this is it!

Beaches
Whether you’re looking to sunbathe, swim, snorkel, or indulge in watersports, you’ll really be spoilt for choice in La Gomera. La Gomera beaches are among the most dramatic in the world.
- La Calera is the island’s biggest beach, and it’s one of the best beaches in La Gomera for families. With dark volcanic sands and calm waters, this beach is set in the relaxing, peaceful environment of Valle Gran Rey, with a number of family-friendly restaurants lining the beachfront.
- Playa del Ingles is a popular naturist beach, renowned for its calm waters and huge expanse of sand, once the tide goes out. Another volcanic beach with dark sands, Playa del Ingles is located to the west of Valle Gran Rey, and is considered to be one of the best places on the island to catch a Canaries sunset.
- Vueltas is the closest you’ll get to a white sand beach in La Gomera, which is typically known for its darker volcanic sands. With sheltered waters and easy access from the port, this beach is a top choice for families, boasting a lively, friendly seaside atmosphere that’s not too dissimilar from that back home.
- Playa de Santiago in the south is a pebble beach adorned with caves. With clear waters, this is the island’s primary diving spot. You can also snorkel here, or explore the waters in a kayak. Located in one of the biggest tourist resorts, you’ll find plenty of shops, hotels, and restaurants within the local area.
- La Cueva is one of two beaches situated in the island’s capital of San Sebastian, but despite its location, it’s actually one of La Gomera’s most peaceful beaches. You’ll find lots of chiringuitos — beach bars — here, and on a clear day you can relax while enjoying fantastic views of Tenerife’s Mount Teide.
