Charco de Isla Cangrejo

It is a pool in which human interference can be seen at first glance, but it does not detract from its charm. You can get to the place by walking through the narrow streets of Los Gigantes, following the signs “” charco “”. We will arrive at a small viewpoint from which we will see an impressive view of the ocean and the pool, separated by a wall. The atmosphere of this place is complemented by white buildings against the black rocks. A great attraction of this place is the moment when a turbulent wave hits a concrete wall, thus turning into a glass of several meters. Then local residents stand on the wall and wait for the resulting wall of water to push them into the pool. Charco de Isla Cangrejo is considered easy / average. Although the pool is not very deep, the tides can be strong here. It is popular and therefore often quite crowded. This is mainly because it can be reached on foot from the main Los Gigantes stop.
