Cala de Tacorón

Tacorón

A lava cove beside the Mar de las Calmas marine reserve, with caves, platforms and clear water. It is a snorkeling paradise.

Tacorón lies northwest of La Restinga, within the Mar de las Calmas marine protected area, where the sea is calm almost all year round. Steps and platforms have been built on the black lava coast. The water is clear to the bottom, making it good for snorkeling and swimming, and nearby are lava caves and picnic areas. It is about 20 minutes' drive from La Restinga, and the last section is a dirt road. Admission is free. There are no shops nearby, though snack stands may open in summer.
