Tagle is a small cove a few kilometres west of Suances, with a beach break that is best around low tide. It's much quieter than Los Locos and a good alternative when the crowd there is too much.

The beach is small and the tide covers most of it at high water, so time your session around low tide.

In summer the small beach fills up with families, so autumn and spring are usually the best times. There's a small car park above the cove. Suances, a few minutes east, has the shops, restaurants and places to stay.
