What leaves from here
Pilot-whale and dolphin cruises (2–3 h), luxury catamarans, private fishing charters, kayak tours to the cliffs and dive boats. Most operators have kiosks on the quay — compare a couple before booking.
Eating at the marina
The quayside restaurants trade partly on the view, but seafood is genuinely fresh — the fishing boats land here. For sunset, grab any table facing west; the cliffs glow and La Gomera silhouettes on the horizon.
- Seasickness-prone? Pick a bigger catamaran over a small speedboat.
- Book direct at the kiosk — often cheaper than hotel resellers.
- ATMs at the marina save you the hill walk back up.
