Nogales beach

One of the best beaches in La Palma

Nogales Beach, one of the best in La Palma, exemplifies what this beautiful island has to offer: mountains, trails, lava, ocean and lush green landscapes. Located in the northern town of Puntallana, its black volcanic sand, with shades of blue and grey, its spectacular cliffs and the mighty Atlantic have put it on the map; not only for surfers and naturists but also for lovers of solitude, beautiful views and nature trails. If, in addition, you happen to visit when the waters are calm, the possibility of being able to take a wonderful dip makes this a place almost without equal in La Palma.

Compared to other remote beaches, Nogales is easily accessible. Park your car and then follow the 500-metre metre path, where, at the end, the splendour of a wild beach is revealed. There's more on offer here than just a revitilising swim, however; a visit is well worth the while for those in search of peace and closeness to nature in its purest form. The views and the contrast between the lush green landscape, the black sands and the blue of the Atlantic make this spot truly idyllic.

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.
