Roque del Este

Roque del Este is a prominent sea stack located off the coast of La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands. It is a large, isolated rocky formation that rises dramatically from the ocean, visible from the island’s coastline. Its striking appearance makes it a notable natural landmark and offers habitat for seabirds. The formation results from volcanic activity and erosion over time, shaping the island’s rugged landscape. Roque del Este is part of the Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, valued for its natural beauty, geological significance, and ecological importance.
