Playa de Malpique
★★★★★
(2,085)
Five minutes from the Fuencaliente Lighthouse, access is via the next road north along the West coast. It is a platform at 5 meters with three large rocks that rise to the surface depending on the tides and form a canyon, surrounded by sand, ideal for Try Scuba.
Plenty of trumpetfish, parrotfish, ornate wrasse, damselfish, flounder, spider crab and occasional visits from moray eels, stingrays, cuttlefish, octopus
