Nearby to the south are the resorts of Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena. 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the north is the village of Masca which can be reached by boat or car.
The town has a marina surrounded by concrete walls to dampen the effect of the rough seas around the area. A small black sand beach lies between the rocks and the marina. The marina has a boulevard with many restaurants. Near the harbour is a lido.
The cliffs at Los Gigantes, Acantilados de Los Gigantes in Spanish, are one of the island's major tourist attractions. There are three viewpoints in the village, the main one on main road to towards Tamaimo, another above the sports club and a third on a coastal path around the Hotel Barcelo. The village has many small shops and restaurants servicing the tourists that visit the area, especially on the one-way road loop around church and plaza, and also near to the marina and beach.
Each year, in February, there is a carnival[1] which parades through the village. As can be expected of a town resort, Los Gigantes has only one hotel but many apartments compared to regular residences.
