Charco del Conde
A natural seawater pool enclosed by reefs on the coast of Valle Gran Rey. Its calm waters suit swimming and snorkeling with children.
Charco del Conde lies near the port of Vueltas at the southern end of the Valle Gran Rey. A volcanic rock reef blocks the waves from the open sea, forming a calm lagoon with shallow, clear water, surrounded by small beaches and rock platforms. Local families often bring their children here to swim, and small fish can be seen among the rocks. Free; restaurants and cafés are nearby. Note that at high tide and in heavy swells, seawater may wash over the reef, so take care.
