Playa del Medio is located in San Sebastián de La Gomera, alongside other beaches on the capital's coastline. Its dark sand is formed by a mix of volcanic sand and gravel, and it stands out for being surrounded by cliffs that give it a more sheltered character.

Access involves a path leading down to the shore, and the setting retains a largely undeveloped, natural appearance. It's a quiet spot, visited by those looking for a stretch of coast away from the nearest town center. The beach has no facilities or tourist services, so you should come prepared.
