Located just 16 kilometres from the historic centre of La Laguna and 15 kilometres from North Airport, we find this corner where the flavour of seafaring tradition blends with the possibility of being tourists in a less crowded area, with endless possibilities to enjoy not only the coastal area but also the spectacular rural surroundings that surround it.
La Punta (as it is known locally) is the result of a volcanic episode that occurred after the formation of the Anaga Massif, giving rise to this low-lying island with a rocky coastline and an extensive intertidal zone of high biological value, which sets it apart from the rest of the northern coastline.
Thanks to its accommodation options, including those right on the coastline, visitors can enjoy a pleasant, attractive and unique setting, with the modern lighthouse (from which a trail awarded the blue trail distinction starts) and the Roque de los Dos Hermanos rock formation as highlights in this setting.
Special mention should be made of the natural swimming pool “El Arenisco”, which has been awarded the blue flag for the quality of its waters and its compliance with environmental regulations regarding health and safety infrastructure. Access to the pool is free all year round, as are the natural pools in the Furnias area and the pebble beaches that dot the coastline, El Arenal, El Roquete and Los Troches, traditionally used as bathing areas.
In the vicinity of all these unique places, you can sample typical Canarian cuisine, with a wide variety of fresh fish and seafood served in traditional establishments such as the Cofradía de Pescadores (Fishermen’s Guild), located next to the small harbour, which retains all the charm and fishing culture that has always characterised this area.
