Mirador de Garachico
Panoramic balcony over the town of Garachico and its islet on the north coast.
From this balcony in San Juan del Reparo you look over the whole seafaring town of Garachico, built on the lava flow that destroyed its old harbour in 1706, with the Roque de Garachico rising from the sea. The view opens toward Icod de los Vinos on one side and Buenavista del Norte on the other, with the north coast and the Atlantic as a backdrop. It is a much-photographed spot with nearby parking and easy road access.

Mirador del Emigrante
A viewpoint on the Garachico coast built around the monument to the Canary emigrant, at the Risco Partido. The council's tourism site dates its inauguration to 3 August 1990 and credits the sculptor and poet Fernando García Ramos: a two metre bronze human figure standing on a stone base of the same height, with a plaque alluding to emigration.

Mirador El Guincho
A small coastal spot in the municipality of Garachico, on the northern side of Tenerife. On one side the view opens over Garachico and its rugged coast, with the outline of the Roque in the foreground, the cliff of El Guincho and the sport and fishing harbour; on the other it settles on abandoned terraces that recall the crops once grown in the area. There is parking, a bus stop, adapted access and an interpretive table.
