Looking along the coast to Playa Quemada, Puerto Calero and Puerto del Carmen

Turn left and follow the palm-fringed promenade as it runs between a marina and apartments. There are a couple of points where it is possible to go down to the marina, which has a range of shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a Museo de Cetacéos (whales and dolphins museum). Staying on the brick-paved path, however, cross the access road for the marina at Puerto Calero and continue until it passes above a boatyard. The paving ends and the path drops to a road. Turn left up the road to reach a roundabout with an attractive yacht sculpture. There is a bus shelter to the right.
