El Verodal Beach, on the northwestern coast of El Hierro, is in a marvellous setting in the municipality of La Frontera. Of singular beauty, especially due to its peculiar reddish volcanic sand, it is definitely worth a visit, although swimming here is not recommendable because of the strong currents. Nonetheless, El Verodal is a busy beach with truly spectacular scenery in volcanic surroundings, overlooked by impressive cliffs. The big lava flows are proof of the devastating force of the volcano during the last eruptions in this area of the island.
