La Veta Beach

A beach at the foot of a cliff

La Veta Beach is one of the most recognized and beautiful beaches of La Palma. It is known as a seasonal black sand beach, as it begins to form in spring and reaches its peak in summer, the best time to visit. The place is located at the foot of a steep 200-meter cliff – characteristic of the entire northwest coast of La Palma – and the water is usually crystal clear. Right next to the beach, there are numerous caves and huts that give the place a special charm.

Accessible on foot

La Veta Beach can only be reached on foot after leaving the car in a large parking lot. Once there, you begin a 25-minute hike through cliffs, stairs and even a spectacular cave. Upon arrival, it is worth spending the day and enjoying the spectacular sunset, which is usually drawn.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
- Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
- Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
