Playa de Vueltas
Black-sand beach sheltered by the port of Vueltas, with calm waters; good for swimming and snorkelling.
Next to the port of Vueltas, in Valle Gran Rey, this black-sand beach is sheltered by the pier, making it one of the calmest in the valley. It is a good place to swim, snorkel or board the whale- and dolphin-watching trips that leave from the harbour. A serene atmosphere, calm sea and everything close by: a safe choice when the wind picks up or the more open beaches get rough.
