The man sustained an injury to his right ankle and bruises. Rescue personnel could not reach the victim via the coastline due to high tide. They used the mountain path instead. After immobilising the limb, he was evacuated on a stretcher to Playa Quemada. An ambulance from SUC was waiting there.
La Arena beach in Playa Quemada is inaccessible to pedestrians from the sea side during high water.
