Aim for Faro De Maspalomas and turn right, keep walking 'til you get to the new hotel developments, you can either follow the path down the cliff or go through the building site (we chose the former)! keep going west, over the rocks and you'll reach a sandy/rocky cove - you're there!

Atmosphere

I had a real good time here, as a beginner, I probably was doing it all wrong!! I have to confess, I was bodyboarding (shoot me now!), but it was real fun and there were some pretty big waves; however, I noticed that the waves come along in sets of 5 or so, then it'll go flat as a pancake, I was just about ready to give up when they started going off again. If you have a look at the rocky outcrop at the east point of the cove, you can get an advance warning of when it's about to happen.
