Top 19 things to do and attractions in Hermigua

Very quiet beach with little facilities. I went swimming with my brother and the waves were a little strong. Not the best place to swim, but a wonderful experience if you're a good swimmer. Seems to be a nice spot for surfers too.

If you are traveling with Van you won’t find any bathrooms here. Also, the sound of the ocean is a bit too strong was really hard to fall asleep. Better go to La Caleta — quieter and 10 times nicer

It’s pretty rundown and not great for recreation.

nice view but not for swimming

Stunning views from the mountains to the west, but looks run down and depressing when you get to the shoreline.

A nice place to enjoy the storming ocean in relative solitude.

Nice, but below expectations

This iconic glass cantilever lookout is high above the picturesque village of Agulo. You can experience the stunning views and the beautiful panorama all around and across the ocean to the island of Tenerife, where the peak of El Teide volcano is clearly seen.

An interesting place with a beautiful view of Agulo, the ocean, and Teide. We had wonderful weather. Surrounded by red sands. There’s parking and a restroom, but no bar.

Awesome view over the N-E part of the island! The entrance and the parking are free of charge. If you arrive here, go for a little walk right next on the red little hills.

Mirador de Abrante, is free to enter, 620 meters above sea level with a seven-meter-long glass walkway with breathtaking views of the north side of La Gomera and mount teide

This is very difficult to get to without a car. However, if you can get there, it's well worth the experience. We went on an incredibly windy day and we could feel structure being slammed into by the wind. It does give fabulous views of tge Town of Agulo below.

So cool. A little scary if you are afraid of heights but so beautiful

Impressive viewpoint - but the true magic is the crazy romantic Martian landscape surrounding it! By all means do not miss out on taking an hour or two to explore it. Unforgettable, one of the most special terrains on La Gomera!

It’s ok, we were told is free but is not, they have some history there that is nice to read and see but I will not be disappointed if I would have skip it. You walk a bit around a garden also and they provide with audio guide that’s quite nice and it has a nice view

Super interesting especially if you want to learn about the culture and this beautiful island. Cost 15€ per person including a nice little tapas to try afterwards. The shop is interesting as it has alot of handmade things and has the syrup which you will hear about on the tour 😊👏

Good way to learn about the history of the island and it's agriculture and people.

This is a great spot. Cafe with good vibes. Local produce. Great restaurant. And small farm / museum. Highly recommended

This is a real experience to do in La Gomera! It has a beautiful garden full of fruits that grow in the island and gives, through the audio guide, the history of the faune in La Gomera. The personnel is very kind and the restaurant as well is very well (nice dishes with local ingredients, a bit pricey for the location but not for the quality) In summary a must do if you are in the island

It's quirky!!! But informative and different. Work in progress but currently a little rough and ready. Cafe / restaurant attached was ok for lunch

Nice garden with mangos, bananas and papayas, a shop where you can try and buy native products. Great views

Waw, this place has a strong Genius loci. It's nice walk ( just a few minutes), not possible to go there by car because of the possible rocks falling down. We have visited this place when there were huge waves and it was spectacular.

I’ve been swimming here several times with great pleasure. It’s a fantastic experience. But this video illustrates that the tidal bath (Pecante de Hermigua) can be very dangerous - yes even deadly - too. Only five minutes before this video people were still swimming in the pool! So you can dangerously be caught by surprised. Chat GPT advised me that high tide would be the safest time to go into the pool, but to my humble opinion I think it should be low tide, as then the sea level doesn’t reach the pool. Please have yourself well informed by locals and be careful and warned at all times.

Swimming was perfect today but I can imagine that it is very dangerous here with a full moon tide. Lots of signage and a red flag to advise you not to swim, so you go in at your own risk. However this is an interesting historical site and a beautiful place to chill.

Unique location easily recognisable from a wonderful TV series Foundation. But what is even more interesting is the history of this place. We came later across very interesting old photos of this location and that got us even more interested to dig deeper into its past

Spectacular swimming pool filled by sea water. Quite a walk and slippery rocks make it an adventure of sorts. Only go in when locals go. Dangerous rocks in the open side.

The views are amazing from Pescante de Hermigua. I can definitely suggest to do a walk up to the place. However, I would not advise to go swimming for unexperienced people, as the sea can get pretty rough and the waves reach into the natural pool.

A beautiful place. If you want to swim here, you should check the tides. During high tide it is very dangerous to swim in the pool. I myself got some scrapes and bruises because I underestimated the waves. Fortunately, I was not pulled over the edge of the pool into the open sea. Later I heard in the village that people have already died there this year. There is an initiative by the people of Hermigua to reopen the place and make it more secure. It would be wonderful if this could be done one day. (The video is not from the day I was swimming there)

You can join route 18 which will lead you to the mountain village of El Cedro. It is about 2 ml to the village through a laurel forest. Not difficult route. Ultimately, your reward for your effort will be a fantastic meal at Restaurant Camping La Vista. I recommend. I was there in January 2017.

If you are already on Gomera there is not much else you can do but hike in this beautiful forest. You’ll escape the heat and see interesting plants and birds.

Great tracking routes!

A small parking lot to explore a 2km hiking path full of beautiful trees covered in moss

(Translated by Google) Affordable route for anyone and one of the most beautiful. There is parking at the entrance that can be reserved through the park website. The guys at Tragsa tell you and are very attentive! Thank you for your kind help!! (Original) Ruta asequible para cualquiera y de las más bonitas. Hay un parking a la entrada que se puede reservar a través de la web del parque. Los chicos de Tragsa te indican y son muy atentos! Gracias por vuestra amable ayuda!!

Starting point for several hikes through the amazing cloud forest. We took the trail down to El Cedro, really spectacular to be walking in the forest with clouds and drizzle, eventually opening up to distant views of the coast.

(Translated by Google) Well, I left from Petra and Pedro. And add a very difficult route, with little space x sections. A lot of road with stones and no place to hold on. We reached higher than the dam. And I considered that I had had enough. Also, it didn't seem like a very busy route. And we turned around. Total almost 5 hours.... (Original) Pues yo salí desde Petra y Pedro. Y añadir k ruta muy dificil, con poco espacio x tramos. Mucho camino con piedras y no tener donde agarrarse. Llegamos mas arriba d la presa. Y consideré k ya habia tenido suficiente. Ademas, no parecia ruta muy frecuentada. Y nos dimos la vuelta. Total casi 5 horas....

Nice picnic bench with shade. Place to take a breather on our trip from San Sebastian to Hermigua. Bushes almost hide the view.

Views to die for.

(Translated by Google) We are from Gran Canaria and we are on vacation in La Gomera and the truth is that we did not expect it to be so beautiful🙃😍it has magical places, surrounded by greenery and with a lot of charm. An island that you should visit. (Original) Somos de Gran Canaria y estamos de vacaciones en La Gomera y la verdad es que no la esperábamos tan linda🙃😍tiene lugares mágicos, rodeados de verde y con mucho encanto. Una isla que deberían visitar.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and easily accessible viewpoint. With a fence for cars, but you can leave it a little in. Perfect for a 10' stop. It has a little table to eat something. (Original) Mirador muy bonito y de fácil acceso. Con una valla para los coches, pero se puede dejar un poco metido. Perfecto para una parada de 10'. Tiene una mesita para comer algo.

(Translated by Google) Too bad the barrier closes access to cars, we stopped right in front, as close as possible. The little path is pleasant with the vegetation and the view too, with the mountains under the mist and the city below. (Original) Dommage que la barrière ferme l'accès aux voitures, nous nous sommes arrêtés juste devant, au plus proche. Le petit chemin est agréable avec la végétation et la vue également, avec les montagnes sous la brume et la ville en contrebas.

(Translated by Google) Viewpoint with easy access on foot where you can admire the wonderful views of the beautiful town of Hermigua. (Original) Mirador de fácil acceso andando donde admirar las maravillosas vistas al bello pueblo de Hermigua.

(Translated by Google) There are no places to park a car, it is recommended to get there walking along a path. (Original) No hay sitios para aparcar coche,se recomiendo llegar caminando por un sendero.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular. The interweaving of trunks and branches and the microclimate in the area are simply spectacular. We were unlucky because we couldn't walk any of the trails, as they were all sealed off due to high temperatures and the risk of fire. It's a real shame that we pay so much for a few, but we completely understand. Despite this, it's a must-see on the island of La Gomera. (Original) Espectacular. El entramado de troncos y ramas y el microclima en la zona son sencillamente espectaculares. Tuvimos mala suerte porque no pudimos recorrer ningún sendero dado que estaban todos precintados por altas temperaturas y riesgo de incendio. Una auténtica lástima que por unos pocos paguemos muchos, pero lo entendemos perfectamente. A pesar de ello es una visita obligada en la Isla de la Gomera.

(Translated by Google) The summit of La Gomera. From here, when visibility is good, you have a panoramic view of Tenerife, La Palma, El Hiro and possibly even Gran Canaria. There is a fire watch station at the top. (Original) Der Gipfel von La Gomera. Von hier hat man bei guter Sicht eine Rundumsicht zu Teneriffa, La Palma, El Hiro und evtl sogar nach Gran Canaria. Oben befindet sich eine Feuer Wachstation.

(Translated by Google) One of the largest hardwood laurel forests in the world, with views of the surrounding islands and rock outcrops. (Original) Jeden z největších tvrdolistých vavřínových lesů na světě, s výhledy na okolní ostrovy i skalní výčnělky.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular Canarian laurel forest, narrow and winding roads (Original) Espectacular bosque de la laurisilva Canaria , carreteras estrechas y sinuosas

(Translated by Google) A truly magical place, the Laurisilva forests are incredible, no wonder it is a World Heritage Site (Original) Un sitio realmente mágico, los bosques de Laurisilva son increíbles,no es de extrañar que sea patrimonio de la humanidad

(Translated by Google) Garajonay Park is a must if you're visiting La Gomera! The views are stunning, and the road is steep and winding! (Original) El parque de Garajonay es un MUST si vas a visitar la Gomera! Unas vistas impresionantes y el camino es de subida con muchas curvas!

(Translated by Google) The view from the summit - breathtaking! We took a hike around the mountain. Highly recommended! (Original) Der Blick vom Gipfel - atemberaubend! Wir machten eine Wanderung rund um den Berg. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Great beach! Perfect for a stop with a van. You have showers, toilets, barbecue area and cute cats running around

This is a very rocky beach with a difficult path to get there. Rocky roads and sometimes there was not enough space for two cars. There is enough parking and tables for picnics. Not recommended to swim or to go with kids. Wheelchair access or parking is not available. We just spent 20 minutes and left. There are better places to visit on the island. Not recommended overall.

Nice beach but not suitable for swimming. You can do a walk (ruta del azucar) that starts not far from there. Has parking.

Very nice beach, amazing scenery. When we were there, the weather was very bad, so I can’t say anything about swimming. However, one thing to be aware of is that the road there is very long, narrow and in bad shape (There are many places with steep drops and no guard rail, sharp rocks have fallen onto the asphalt). If you are uncomfortable driving on bad, narrow, roads, you should avoid this place.

Beautiful place. Toilets! Not safe for swimming most of the year. Local feastdays explain the picnic seats and shade. Sadly cafe no longer in use.

Absolut beautiful little pirate bay. The sea is too rough to swim (at least when i was there), but it is a lovely place to spend a day. There are sunbrellas and patches if sand, several tables with seating. And the route to the beach is spectacular in its own right.

Beautiful little rock beach. Not too busy, but we'll equiped with toilet, shower and changing room. Heavy waves, but a lot of fun with kids, building rock walls near the waves.

Powerful rock couple. From the back they are even more photogenic:-)

(Translated by Google) Although they can be seen from many points, access to them to see them up close and take a good photo is expensive. Going there by vehicle is possible if you are skilled in narrow and very steep situations. (Original) Tot i que es veuen de molts punts l'accés a ells per veure'ls de prop i fer una bona foto costa. Anar hi en vehicle és possible si ets hàbil en situacions estretes i de molta pendent.

Impressive

(Translated by Google) In contrast to other Roques on this island, Pedro and Petra didn't excite me that much. It was probably due to the not so great weather and the less good view of the two rocks. We then scrambled a little above them and from there we were able to take another interesting view of the Hermigua valley. (Original) Im Gegensatz zu anderen Roques auf dieser Insel, haben mich Pedro und Petra nicht soooo sehr begeistert. Wahrscheinlich lag es sowohl am nicht so wunderschönen Wetter und der weniger guten Sicht auf die beiden Felsen. Wir sind dann noch etwas oberhalb derer gekraxelt und haben von dort nochmal einen interessanten Blick auf das Tal von Hermigua werfen können.

(Translated by Google) Always worth a hike. Up to the campsite and have something to eat there. (Original) Immer eine Wanderung wert. Hinauf zum Campingplatz und dort auch etwas speisen.

(Translated by Google) For those in Hermigua, it's worth a visit. They're much better seen from below, along the road leading to the other side of the Barranco de El Cedro. (Original) Per chi si trova a Hermigua, vale la pena fare un salto. Si vedono molto meglio dal basso, lungo la strada che porta all'altro versante del Barranco de El Cedro.

(Translated by Google) DO NOT FOLLOW THE MAP SIGNS! Cuesta San Pedro is very steep, narrow, and two-way. If you stop halfway, you can't continue. We got stuck trying to reverse down the hill, and if it weren't for the locals, to whom I will be eternally grateful, we wouldn't have gotten out of there because Cicar didn't care, as they didn't have any 4x4 vehicles to tow the car. The rocks are very nice, but as I said, it's better to go from below or above, so don't follow the GPS signs. (Original) ¡NO SIGAN LAS INDICACIONES DE MAPS! La Cuesta San Pedro es muy pronunciada, estrecha y de doble sentido, si te paras a mitad de camino, olvidate de poder seguir, nosotros nos quedamos atascados al intentar bajar marcha atrás y si no es por los vecinos, a los que estaré agradecido eternamente, no salimos de allí, porque Cicar se desentendió al no disponer de vehículos 4x4 para remolcar el coche. Los roques muy bien, pero lo dicho, mejor desde abajo o por arriba, no sigan las indicaciones del GPS.

Fantastic little musuem, really friendly and helpful staff. So very informative about La Gomera's history. LOVED IT!!@

Very nice museum, you should defenitly visit to learn more about the culture in La Gomera.

OK. Small museum but worth while visit to put the history of the island into context.

Small exhibition. Not a great deal of information.

Closed!

Polscam

(Translated by Google) Small museum of objects and way of life in La Gomera in the last century. We loved dealing with the responsible girl, very nice and pleasant. She offered us the option of watching some videos of the Gomero whistle, something very curious for the peninsular people, the extraction of palm syrup, how they do it and some customs that we did not know. The exhibition of objects and materials is very curious, all with their explanations of what it was and what it was used for. It is clean and has wheelchair access. (Original) Pequeño museo de objetos y forma de vida en la gomera en el siglo pasado. Nos encanto el trato con la chica responsable, muy simpática y agradable nos ofreció la opción de ver unos vídeos de el silbido gomero algo muy curioso para los peninsulares, la extracción de el sirope de Palma, como lo realizan y algunas costumbres que no conocíamos. La exposición de objetos y materiales es muy curiosa todos con sus explicaciones de lo que era y para que se utilizaban. Esta limpio y tiene acceso para sillas de ruedas.
