Lombo Gordo Beach

In Nordeste you will find one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches of this island: Lombo Gordo beach, nearby Pedreira. The inconsistency of the sandy area and the steep access to the site mean that this place is less visited.
If you want to go to this beach, ask in advance at the Tourist Office about the existence of sand.
You can go there by car, leaving it at the parking place. The beach has toilets and a support staff on site, although it doesn't have surveillance.
