El Faro Beach

Wild yet accessible

El Faro Beach is located to the south of La Palma in a privileged spot where beachgoers can enjoy sun, sea and the area’s natural beauty. The impressive cliffs and two lighthouses – one of them dating back to the beginning of the twentieth century – lend the area a unique beauty. Conveniently accessible by bus and car, the beach is nonetheless blissfully secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Swimming and diving beside a lighthouse

The spectacular scenery of El Faro Beach hits visitors the moment they arrive, where they can enjoy the visual beauty of the volcanic rock and sand, swim alongside an old lighthouse and then lie back in the sun afterwards among fishermen’s boats. The sea here is also highly rated among divers and anglers. With moderate waves.

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.
