Playa del Inglés — La Gomera
Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera, Canary Islands
A long-established clothing-optional beach of dark sand and rock beneath Valle Gran Rey’s dramatic western cliffs. Its open Atlantic views and sunsets have drawn naturists here since the 1970s.
Nudity policy
Customary clothing optional
Official island tourism explicitly identifies Playa del Inglés as a nudist beach with a long naturist tradition. Nudity is customary on the public shore rather than a requirement for every visitor.
Keep clothed on resort streets and residential approaches. No surveyed nude-only boundary is published, and current warning signs and access restrictions apply.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
No listed facilities are confirmed on the naturist shore. Approach parking and nearby services are described separately.
Access & visiting
Public beach access without membership, a beach-admission ticket or an overnight booking. Any parking, lounger or refreshment charge is separate; current access notices, closures and sea warnings take precedence.
Age & supervision
This is a shared public shoreline with no published minimum admission age or adult-only naturist enclosure in the checked visitor guidance. Children need adult supervision; the naturist boundaries and access conditions described below still apply.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Public coast throughout the year, subject to sea conditions, weather and local access restrictions; check current notices before travelling.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Travel to the La Playa end of Valle Gran Rey and follow the local Playa del Inglés signs towards the coastal edge beyond the built-up seafront. The official island map marks the beach itself; the final approach is a short walk rather than a drive onto the sand.
Parking
Island tourism lists approach parking near this end of Valle Gran Rey, but does not publish a precise car-park entrance or current charge. Use signed public spaces and avoid obstructing residential access; no parking facility is confirmed on the naturist sand.
Finding the naturist area
Follow the established beach approach beyond the resort edge to the open dark-sand and rocky shore below the cliffs. This is Playa del Inglés on La Gomera, not the much larger Gran Canaria resort with the same name; no long mountain hike or cliff shortcut is required by the official description.
Where naturism applies
The customary naturist setting is this separate beach, rather than the whole Valle Gran Rey promenade or neighbouring town beaches. Stay off cliff bases and unstable slopes, use the established access and follow any local cordons or warning boards.
- The beach is unsupervised and open to Atlantic waves; do not mistake a calm appearance or a water-quality result for safe swimming conditions.
- Restaurants and other services are near the resort, not confirmed on the naturist beach.
- Bring water and allow time to return by the established path after sunset.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
