A Comfortable and Calm Beach

Protected by breakwaters, Playa El Bobo offers gentle waves and shallow entry points, making it suitable for families and less experienced swimmers. The sand is fine and dark, typical of the island's volcanic origin, and there’s plenty of space to stretch out with a towel or rent a sunbed.
