Charco del Rayo

Under the lighthouse of Buenavista a natural pool to see the sunset

TYPOLOGY: natural pool
ACCESS: along a dirt track
SERVICES: none until Los Silos village
BEST TIME TO VISIT: all year round

This is one of the many natural pools that populate the stretch of coast that goes from Buenavista to the town of Los Silos. All of them are connected by a dirt road, where you can drive or walk, which takes you directly to the foot of the Buenavista lighthouse. Here you will find a spectacular natural "hole" formed by the erosion of the sea that the locals call the crater of the Rayo. This unique formation will indicate the point of access to the pool.

★ In summer, in the light of the sunset, the area is tinged with magic and you can enjoy one of the most privileged places on the island in almost total solitude.
