Bahia Alcalá
This bay is 6 km South of Los Gigantes on the west coast, protected from the main winds most of the year. This site can get busy in the summer. Sometimes, when there is strong current, the visibility can be poor and entrance tricky.
There are chances to see Stingrays, Snake Eels, Octopi, Crabs, Roncadores, and much more. There are also chances to see sea turtles.
