Description
Playa del Faro is a small black-sand beach on the rugged western coast of La Palma, near the Faro de Fuencaliente lighthouse. Formed by volcanic activity, its shoreline is exposed to Atlantic swells, resulting in consistently wavy conditions that make swimming challenging. The beach offers dramatic views of the ocean and the surrounding volcanic landscape, but visitors should exercise caution due to strong currents.
