About the beach

Alajeró · La Gomera

Playa de Santiago is closely linked to the harbor and the coastal town of Alajeró. Its dark, partly rocky shore retains a traditional maritime feel, inviting you to combine a swim with a meal at one of the local restaurants. When the water is clear and calm, the seabed offers plenty of interest for snorkelers. Choose an entry point where the bottom is mixed and away from harbor operations; water shoes can make your visit more comfortable.
