Discover Nogales, an incredible surfing beach in La Palma
Nogales beach, in Puntallana, is the ideal place for surfing and adventure lovers in general.
It is a 25-minute drive from Santa Cruz de La Palma, the capital, and unlike other beaches on the island, you can enter the water and walk a few metres before the water gets too deep. This allows waves to form that are longer and more suitable for surfing on a board, as bodyboarding is the most common activity on La Palma. Although the sea often looks calm, it is better not to be overconfident. The waters north of La Palma are known for their strong currents.
It is also important to know that if you don’t have your own equipment, you can rent everything you need to catch waves, be it a surfboard, a wetsuit and a board, when you get to the sand.
And if you’re simply crazy about adventure and want to get to know Nogales, the experience is highly recommended. The beach is located in a unique setting, protected by a large cliff with a striking contrast of vegetation and rock. In fact, the path leading to the beach is a spectacle in itself.
