About the beach

Fuencaliente de la Palma · La Palma

El Faro is a small beach in the Fuencaliente area, set within the volcanic landscape at La Palma's southern tip. Its proximity to the lighthouses provides a clear landmark, making it easy to include in an itinerary exploring the headland. With its dark, rocky seabed, the location invites coastal sightseeing rather than offering a vast expanse of sand. Swimming conditions depend on the immediate state of the sea, not just the cove's compact size.
