Playa de Santa Cruz de La Palma

Playa de Santa Cruz de La Palma is much more than a city beach: it's the coastal heart of the Palma capital and one of the most beloved spots for both locals and visitors alike. Officially opened in 2017 following a transformation inspired by natural events, this artificial black volcanic sand beach restored the historic space of the former Caleta del Varadero, giving the city back its embrace with the Atlantic. With a wide breakwater protecting its waters and spectacular views of the city surrounded by mountains, it has become the perfect place for a peaceful swim or a sunset stroll.

The best part of this space is its accessibility and prime location right on Avenida Marítima, with all the services you might need and play areas for the little ones. After your swim, you only need to cross the avenue to find a selection of bars and terraces where you can recharge while gazing at the ocean. The pleasant year-round climate and family-friendly atmosphere make this beach a must-visit on any trip to La Palma.
