Why we send people here
On calm days, swimming in Isla Cangrejo feels like hovering in an ocean infinity pool with the sheer basalt cliffs rising into the sky.
Before you get in
Rock pools on this coast are calm most days, but a big Atlantic swell can send waves over the wall. Check the flag on the promenade first.
Green flag
Good conditions. Swim normally.
Yellow flag
Take care. Stay close to the ladders and keep an eye on children.
Red flag
No swimming. Waves are coming over the rocks.
