Playa de las Hermosas

Playa de las Hermosas is one of those hidden gems in southwest Fuerteventura that captivates those who discover it. Located north of the Istmo de La Pared, this rustic beach features volcanic black sand stretching 75 meters along the mouth of Barranco de las Hermosas. What makes it truly special are its striking rock formations, including one that's earned it the nickname Crocodile Beach, thanks to its uncanny resemblance to a crocodile with its jaws wide open.

It's the perfect spot for those seeking peace and unspoiled nature, far from the crowds. The geological setting is fascinating, as you're standing on the island's oldest terrain. Don't miss the trail that starts from the beach heading right—a walk that rewards you with spectacular views and lets you explore unique caves and volcanic landscapes. Just be prepared: the wind can be strong and the waves have personality, so it's best to enjoy this beauty with respect and caution.
