Castillo del Mar and Playa de Vallehermoso

Vallehermoso beach is famous for the Castle of the Sea. From the beach you can see how it is built on the cliff. It was formerly a banana loading dock, and later it was used for cultural purposes. Today it is closed, but is in the process of restoration.

Via steps created in the mountain one reaches the mountain ridge via serpentines. From here you have a great view of the Atlantic and the surrounding countryside. Unfortunately, up here at the time of my visit the way was blocked from this point, well, at least I could enjoy the view and get the planned hike on my next visit to La Gomera.

The Playa de Vallehermoso beach is about three kilometers from the pretty town on the often turbulent Atlantic Ocean. Behind the rocky beach of Vallehermoso, a swimming area with swimming pools, changing rooms, showers and a snack bar was created.
