Isla de Lobos
A very long right point on the Isla de Lobos, off Corralejo.
On the Isla de Lobos islet, a short boat ride from Corralejo, breaks one of the longest right points in Europe: several sections that link into walls of over 100 m over volcanic rock.
The islet is a protected natural area with regulated access: check the boat schedule and permits before you go, and bring water, food, sunscreen and booties.
