Playa de la Veta

Playa de la Veta is a secluded cove of black sand in the municipality of Tijarafe, on the western coast of La Palma. It is reached from the Aguatavar neighbourhood, and on foot only: the surfaced track ends almost at the edge of the cliff, and from there a footpath drops to the shore in fifteen to twenty minutes. The size of the cove is seasonal, since it loses metres in winter and wins them back in summer.
