Punta Mujeres is a delightful working village with a maze of narrow streets which end at the sea, and a very authentic Spanish charm. There are several restaurants (Las Tres Lunas next door couldn't be more convenient!), a seafront tapas bar, small supermarkets and a coffee shop/patisserie all within walking distance.
The village has several natural swimming pools set amongst its rocky seaward boundary which allow easy sea access for swimming and snorkelling. These pools are an important part of village life and are used by everyone from babies to great-grandmothers! The nearest sea swimming pool is 50 metres from Casa Mila..
Steps give access to the foreshore for rockpool exploration and fishing, and you can walk along the wild shoreline to the headland at Jameos del Agua. Bird watchers might enjoy the varied seabird life on the foreshore (we saw three spoonbills on our last visit), and in Summer we have bought fresh fish from the small fishing boats returning to the village slipway.
There is a small, sandy harbour beach at Arrieta (15 min walk) as well as the main La Garita beach with restaurant and toilet facilities (5 min drive). Enjoy completely non-commercial white sand beaches towards Orzola, the best of which has calm, shallow lagoons for swimming and paddling within a 10 min drive, and Orzola itself has a lovely beach and surf break. The old town of Haria, ten minutes drive away, has some excellent restaurants as well as a weekly craft market and Teguise, a beautiful little town with some interesting shops, is well worth a weekday wander round, as well as a visit to the well known Sunday market.
