Cross Academy Bay for a short, rough-ground outing with a shark-observation pond as its particular draw. Wear shoes for the lava path and allow time for the return crossing.

Why go

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.
