Coastal Path South
A flat, easy walk south along the waterfront from Los Gigantes — lava shoreline, clear water, and no crowds after the first kilometre.
Most visitors see the cliffs from the water. This short walk takes you above the town to the mirador — a viewpoint looking down the full height of the 600-metre rock face with the marina and Atlantic spread below.
Start on Calle Los Guios and follow the signed path uphill through a residential street and then onto an open hillside track. It’s a steady climb with no technical sections. The viewpoint has a small railing and enough space for a dozen people comfortably.
The view is genuinely impressive — the scale of the cliffs is hard to communicate until you’re looking down on boats that appear tiny at the base. Sunset is the obvious choice for timing, though early morning has better light for photos.
