Punta de Teno
Faro de Punta de Teno
The lighthouse at the island's far northwest tip, facing the flank of the Los Gigantes cliffs and La Gomera, with clear water and superb sunsets.
Punta de Teno sits at the island's northwestern extremity, where a red-and-white lighthouse stands on a black lava headland. From the side you can see the Los Gigantes cliffs and, in the distance, the island of La Gomera. The TF-445 road to the lighthouse is at risk of falling rocks, and private cars are banned at many times of day (often all day on weekends and public holidays). Take bus 369, or drive at night. Check before setting out. Snorkeling is possible off the shore.
