The roar of the engine takes shape against the black volcanic headlands as you peel away from Puerto del Carmen's old harbour. Salt spray catches the sun, the guide's boat carving a steady line as groups thread between cliffs, coves and stringed beaches. On a jet ski you feel the coastline moving under you—rock faces schooling into low dunes, then the sudden sweep of golden sand at Papagayo.
