This beach is one of the rare protected ones where swimming is allowed. It can get quite crowded, but I enjoyed strolling along the shore and grabbing some fish food at one of the terraces. Additionally, there is a microclimate in the area, which means the temperature is consistently 3 degrees higher compared to a location 5 kilometers away.
We stumbled upon the most exceptional beach. It was impeccably organised and boasted a handful of fantastic dining options.
This beach is tucked away in a picturesque cliffside town. The descent to the beach is manageable, but the climb back up can be strenuous, especially without water. The road to the parking lot is also quite treacherous, with limited spaces to turn around or let other cars pass. The journey down was difficult, but the ascent was even more daunting and intimidating in a C3. For a more enjoyable experience, we recommend visiting Playa Nogales – it's much more beautiful and easier to access.
The beach in La Palma is simply stunning. It's not too crowded and is great for swimming, with a lifeguard on duty. There's a kiosco with food and drinks (closed on Wednesdays), showers, and even a beach volley field. You can rent loungers (2€50) and parasols (1€50), making it easy to relax in the sun. It's easy to access by car or bus number 204.
A stunning sight, the beach is graced with fine black sand and backed by a tall and steep cliff, which creates an archway that appears to hover over the beach. The waters are crystal clear and a deep blue, making it a truly lucky spot to visit.
