Los Cancajos
Playa de Los Cancajos
A resort beach just south of the capital, with calm black-sand bays sheltered by breakwaters, convenient for swimming and snorkelling, and lots of hotels.
Los Cancajos lies about 4 km south of Santa Cruz, between the capital and the airport, and is the main seaside resort on the east coast. Several artificial breakwaters enclose small bays with calm water, ideal for family swimming and snorkelling, where parrotfish can be seen. A coastal path lets you walk or cycle to the capital. Hotels, restaurants and supermarkets are plentiful, making it a good base on the east coast.
