The nearest supermarkets are in Valverde (10km inland). For a small island, the supermarkets are reported to be very good. (Closed from 1pm - 4.30pm).
If you are planning a longer cruiser it may be worth shopping in any of the larger ports.
Every Sunday morning there is an open market in Valverde full of fruit and vegetables.

2 km south along the coastroad in the isolated village of Timijiraque there is an minimarket and 2 restaurants.
Port authorities told me in the fall àf 2018 that in 2019 there will be a fuelstation and a shipchandler.
I loved this quiet marina
Lovely quiet marina even though there are daily ferry visits. Masses of space since the new pontoons have been installed. (We visited in Oct 2018)
Nothing but a beach and ferry terminal at Estaca. Valverde is a 15 min taxi ride all up hill in case you were thinking of walking it. Found it hard to find the number to call a taxi so here it is +34 922 551 175. Came in 10 mins.

A short updates for La Estancia in El Hierro;
I paid 12.88 for a 10-metre boat for one night here. It included water and electricity.
Wifi is a bit unreliable but works if you are patient.
The marina has pontoons for 20 boats against the eastern wall. More space can be used against the southern wall or you can even raft up. Space was not an issue when I was there.
There are showers (hot) and toilets. Staff is friendly. There is a snack bar in the ferry terminal. There is also a bus station.
Call port control on Ch. 14 to make sure no ferry is leaving, and port police will help to dock.
