Vueltas Beach is in a semi-urban area of Valle Gran Rey, on the southwestern coast of La Gomera, and next to the port with the same name. Its dark, volcanic sand and the lack of waves, as the sea is sheltered by a breakwater here, make it perfect for a peaceful swim. Walks along the seashore are also very pleasant, breathing the sea breeze or shopping at any of the nearby shops. The fishing boats resting on the sand lend a really delightful seaside atmosphere to the beach.

The beach is sheltered by a breakwater, making it safe and calm – perfect for the little ones to enjoy themselves. Precisely because of that, this pleasant toasted-sand beach is a favourite with families.

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.
