About
Famous volcanic seawater pools carved by historic lava flows at Garachico on Tenerife’s north coast. Dark rock channels and Atlantic views make El Caletón one of the island’s best-known natural swimming spots — ideal when seas are calm for a memorable coastal swim beside the historic town seafront and harbour.
Sea Safety
El Caletón remains connected to the Atlantic. Swell and unexpected waves can enter the rock channels, and volcanic rock is often wet and slippery.
Check sea conditions before entering, stay clear of exposed edges during heavy swell, and leave the water if waves increase. Obey any local signs or temporary closures. TES does not report live sea conditions.
