Playas Negras

Playas Negras is one of those natural corners of Las Palmas that sparks curiosity for its volcanic beauty, where dark sand contrasts with the intense blue of the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal enclave is characteristic of the Canarian landscape, formed by the erosion of volcanic rocks that give it that distinctive and photogenic color. However, it's important to know that access is restricted as it's a military zone, which surprises many visitors who arrive following GPS directions.

Although you can't enjoy a swim in its waters, the area has an undeniable scenic appeal that reflects the volcanic origin of the islands. Black sand beaches are a natural treasure of the Canaries, and while this particular one remains off-limits to the public, the province offers other accessible alternatives where you can experience the unique sensation of walking on dark sand by the ocean. If you're looking to explore this type of beach, we recommend checking information carefully before planning your visit to avoid any setbacks.
