Fun on the water... The result of a volcanic eruption, like the rest of the Canaries, Lobos takes its name from the fact that it used to be home to sea lions, known in Spanish as "lobos marinos". Although they no longer inhabit the island, it remains a natural haven for anyone who wishes to enjoy an almost-untouched paradise, with 3,000 hours of sunshine each year. Surrounded by crystal clear waters, Lobos is the perfect place to enjoy peaceful, almost-deserted beaches. Las Caleras, or La Concha, named for its shell shape, is an idyllic place for bathing.Surfers have also discovered the great right hand waves on the south east face of the islet, and often practice their sport in this spectacular spot. The diving here is equally engrossing. Simply put on a pair of goggles and discover a seabed full of marine life.
