Las Canteras beach
It is noted for its crystal-clear waters, fine sand, promenade and above all the “barra”, a natural barrier of rocks which reduces the swell on the shore making it an enjoyable place to swim. Another feature it is noted for is its impressive sunsets. From the other end of the beach, towards the district of La Isleta, is La Puntilla, where you can see fireworks on San Juan (St. John’s) day, the Naval Festival, the Entierro de la Sardina (burial of the sardine) ceremony, etc.
