Playa del Inglés is in Valle Gran Rey on the west coast of La Gomera. A beautiful beach surrounded by dramatic cliffs. La Gomera is one of the least-visited Canary Islands for wind sports — conditions are technical, unpredictable, and services are very limited.

Recommended only for experienced, autonomous riders who are already on the island. The beach can receive SW wind and Atlantic swell. Primarily a surf, SUP and wingfoil option.
