About the beach

Santa Cruz de La Palma · La Palma

Playa de Santa Cruz de La Palma has transformed the capital's waterfront; a vast artificial beach of volcanic sand stretches out before the historic city center. Its proximity to downtown streets allows you to easily alternate between city sightseeing and relaxing by the water. The beach's exposure can make it windy, creating favorable conditions for sailing activities. Choose this beach for its direct connection to the city, rather than for the experience of a secluded, sheltered cove.
