Playa de Santiago (Southern Coast Resort & Fishing Port)

The main settlement on La Gomera's sunniest southern coast, Playa de Santiago is a traditional fishing village turned small resort town with approximately 1,200 residents. The town features a long pebble-and-sand beach (Playa de Santiago and Playa de la Negra), a working fishing harbour, and the only golf course on La Gomera — **Tecina Golf**, an 18-hole course designed by Donald Steel with spectacular ocean views. The harbour offers a local ferry service connecting to Valle Gran Rey (Vueltas) and San Sebastián. The area enjoys the best weather on La Gomera, with more sunshine hours and less cloud cover than the north. The beach promenade has several seafood restaurants. Access to the Garajonay National Park is via the winding GM-3 road. The nearby natural monument of **Los Órganos** can be visited by boat tour from here. This area is the most accessible location on La Gomera for those seeking a traditional Canarian beach holiday away from mass tourism.
