About the beach

Frontera · El Hierro

La Maceta is a complex of natural pools along the Frontera coast, featuring basins of various sizes and areas to relax between swims. Here, the experience is defined by the rock formations and water levels rather than by sand. It is wise to observe the sea before choosing a pool, as waves can sometimes wash over the barriers. While the access points make visiting easier, the pools remain open to the Atlantic.
