The black sand beach in Puerto Naos with night-time scuba diving

The black sand from the Puerto Naos beach is volcanic but has light green hues due to the presence of olivine crystals. The beach offers a pleasant coastal path protected by palm trees offering shade to bathers and connecting visitors to various restaurants and outdoor terraces where they can enjoy local cuisine. Due to its closeness to hotels and apartments it has excellent levels of access for those with reduced mobility.
