Playa de los Perros makes a compact outing on the far side of Academy Bay. Its rough lava approach and shark-observation pond give it a different focus from a swimming beach. Combine it with the bay crossing, while allowing time to move carefully over the rocky ground.
What to look for
A short rocky beach occupies the outer edge of Academy Bay
A nearby pond can hold white-tipped reef sharks
Useful to know
Cross Academy Bay by water taxi and follow the rough marked path.
Wear shoes for the lava terrain and observe the shark pool from shore.
