About the beach

San Sebastián de La Gomera · La Gomera

Tapahuga is a sand-and-pebble bay east of Playa de Santiago, set in an arid landscape defined by rugged terrain and traces of agriculture. It marks the transition from the town to a less developed stretch of coastline. It is a perfect stop for those seeking space and a simple, unadorned setting—provided you don't expect fine sand everywhere. Bring whatever you need and consider bringing something comfortable to sit on, given the rocky nature of the shore.
