Playa de San Juan
Blue Flag black-sand beach in a quiet fishing village on Tenerife's west coast.
Sheltered by a breakwater, this dark-sand-and-shingle beach keeps the feel of a Canarian fishing village, with a pleasant seafront promenade and terraces for fresh fish. Its calm water and rocky bottom make it good for swimming and snorkelling, and it has held a Blue Flag for years.

Playa de Puntalarga
Playa de Puntalarga is a small bay on the coastline of Fuencaliente de La Palma, about a hundred metres long and twenty metres wide, with a mix of sand and callao pebbles. Small rocky outcrops shelter it from the sea and the swell stays moderate. A natural rock pool lies right beside the beach, and the whole corner is ringed by fishermen's huts, with fishermen often at work there.
