This beach is characterised by its black volcanic sand, typical of the Canarian coasts, and its generally calm waters, ideal for a pleasant swim. Nearby is the port of Tazacorte, a busy fishing port where it is common to see boats moored. As well as its fishing function, the port has become a departure point for boat trips and other tourist activities such as: diving baptisms or snorkelling equipment for exploring seabed and its rich marine fauna endemic to the island.
