Walk from Ajuy to natural arch on beach

[Sandy D]

I remember reading a post a little while ago about a walk to a natural arch starting from Ajuy and fancy doing it while we are over but can't find it now, can anyone help, sure the directions started. From the cliff top walk towards the caves turn right on the to top path, any more info would be greatly appreciated as am going home Sat and want to make the most of what time we have left

It's Ajuy.  Anyway, whatever you do be very careful. If the sea is rough and you lose your footing and fall in the sea, you're a gonner for sure.

We did the walk yesterday. There is no need to walk too close to the cliff edge so no real worries about being blown off!
From the beach take the path up the cliff from the North of the bay - this is a very well made path and whilst steep, it is an easy walk. Once on top of the cliffs heading towards the caves look out for a path going off and up to the right and through a broken fence. Follow this path as it takes you above the entrance to the caves. It's quite easy to follow the path around the top of the cliffs and you will eventually see the arch below you. Don't be tempted to cut down to the beach/arch too soon as the paths are very steep and tricky, persist in following the cliff top until you are well past the arch and an easier path comes into sight - no problem if you follow all the way round to the barranco and then follow the barranco back to the arch.
Good luck, but do visit the caves on your return - well worth seeing!

Thanks for all your replies, went over today and have to say it was well worth the effort, took under an hour each way, the tide was out so was able to go right down to it and got some great pics, was interesting to see tyre tracks right down to the beach and a 4x4 parked on the cliff top half way along. Never saw anyone all the way over and back, when we went in the restaurant on the beach on our return for a drink, the waiter asked if we had been to the caves and seemed surprised when I said no we had been to the arch.

Looking on Google Earth, there is a track which goes off the FV621 about located 1 mile outside of Ajuy. This seems to go all the way to the Arch. Ideal for lazy folk
