Cabrón beach (Agüimes)

Going down to the coast, Agüimes has a landscape which has been classified as a protected area, for carrying out a special plan for the regulation of the Agüimes coastline.

The Agüimes borough has a 9.9 kilometre-long coastline, which stands out because of it´s enormous beauty. Along it, we find the Arinaga´s beach,Vargas beach, Cabrón beach and several coves.

Cabrón beach is located in the bottom of the mountain of Arinaga and below the lighthouse of the same name. Its seabed is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the Canary Islands, therefore it is an ideal place for underwater diving. It was declared Marine Reserve of Arinaga by the Government of the Canary Islands.  

 

This is the ideal underwater diving for beginners and a perfect place to practice diving courses. Easy access can dive almost all year with a maximum depth of 12 m.

Also in the beach area and along the reef can be found fascinating and colourful fishes, so be aware photographers.

We practically find the same fish in deep dives of the reservation. In it´s sea bottom you´ll see plenty of different species, not to mention octopus, cuttlefish, spider crabs, etc,.Visibility in this area is rarely less than 15 m.

I recommend because it´s a really peaceful beach. Is not just ideal for underwater diving, next to the beach there are some rocks where small natural swimming pools are formed as you can see in the photo.



 
It´s worth the ride. You should try underwater diving but if you just want to spent the day, you can get relaxed in it´s blond sand and feel the pleasant sense of freedom in it´s waters.
