The fishing village of La Santa on the north coast boasts a long lagoon with fine, white sand and calm waters, offering ideal beginners conditions for windsurfing and scuba-diving.

Not far off the lagoon is a small, rocky beach, where perfect surfing waves break: though this is for experts only. Due to the waves and undercurrents, swimming is not recommended here. On the eastern side of the La Santa headland is another small beach, Caleta de Caballo, a mixture of sand and gravel beach, another great place to surf.

Just like with most of the beaches on the north coast, be aware of strong undercurrents, which usually translates into excellent surfing conditions and fantastic coastal landscapes.
