About the beach

San Sebastián de La Gomera · La Gomera

Ávalo is a shell-shaped bay on the coast of San Sebastián, partially hidden by a small rise in the land. The landscape offers a striking contrast between azure waters and arid hills, with a shoreline of dark sand and gravel. It is an ideal stop for those seeking a less urban setting while remaining within the capital's area. The mixed seabed means you should choose your entry point into the water carefully; be sure to bring whatever you need, as there are no on-site beach facilities.
