Agaete Piscina Natural
Saltwater natural pools in the heart of Puerto de las Nieves, in Agaete.
The natural pools of Agaete, also known as Las Salinas, sit in Puerto de las Nieves on the northwest coast of Gran Canaria. They form three interconnected pools linked by volcanic tubes and sheltered from the open sea, with clear water over a volcanic-rock bottom.
The spot is a favourite among locals and visitors, especially at sunset, when on clear days the silhouette of Mount Teide appears across the ocean. It offers a sunbathing area, easy access from the town and nearby restrooms.

Playa de Puntalarga
Playa de Puntalarga is a small bay on the coastline of Fuencaliente de La Palma, about a hundred metres long and twenty metres wide, with a mix of sand and callao pebbles. Small rocky outcrops shelter it from the sea and the swell stays moderate. A natural rock pool lies right beside the beach, and the whole corner is ringed by fishermen's huts, with fishermen often at work there.
