Playa de la Calera
Wide black-sand beach in Valle Gran Rey, lively and with memorable sunsets; open sea.
In the heart of Valle Gran Rey, Playa de la Calera is the liveliest beach in the valley: a wide strip of black volcanic sand facing the Atlantic, with bars and restaurants nearby and sunsets to remember. The sea here is open and can bring waves and currents, so swim sensibly and mind the flags. A classic of the relaxed, slightly alternative vibe you feel in Valle Gran Rey.
