Playa de Echentive

Playa de Echentive is one of the most unique natural treasures in southern La Palma, located in Fuencaliente. What makes this spot truly special is its geological youth: it was born in 1971 after the Teneguía volcano eruption, making it one of the youngest beaches in the Canary Islands. Its black volcanic sand and dark pebbles create a spectacular landscape where the contrasts between green vegetation and black volcanic rock are simply breathtaking.

Access is straightforward from a parking area, though you'll need to descend a flight of stairs to reach the black sand and pebble beach. Beloved by locals and visitors seeking tranquility, this spot is part of the Teneguía Volcanoes Natural Monument. It also features natural rock pools, though proper footwear is recommended for safely exploring them. A perfect place to disconnect in a unique volcanic setting, where nature displays its most recent and spectacular power in a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere surrounded by stunning volcanic scenery.
