Palma Beaches - Palma de Mallorca
While La Palma is strictly speaking no beach
paradise you can also enjoy the sea and sun here. Surprisingly,
the island´s rugged, cliff-lined coast harbours many
concealed coves, the smaller ones only accessible on foot
and thus relatively secluded.
Lar ger beaches with fine, black volcanic sand and all amenities
are to be found in the holiday resorts of Los Cancajos, Puerto
de Naos and Puerto de Tazacorte, as well as to the south of
the capital Santa Cruz de La Palma.
Particularly well developed are those in Los Cancajos and
Puerto de Naos where the Blue Flag has been flying for several
years now. This, the highest EU award in matters of beach
quality assures that these playas not only offer impeccably
clean water, but also provide changing cubicles, toilets,
showers and first aid posts, all adapted for the disabled.
Special mention must be made of the seawater swimming pools
hewn out of the cliffs at La Fajana (Barlovento) and Charco
Azul (San Andrés y Sauces) and to the nudist beach
Playa de las Monjas, south of Puerto de Naos on the west coast.
The Atlantic is no inland sea. Do not underestimate the ocean´s
force. Be wary of the surf and currents specially on the Playa
de Nogales, Playa de las Monjas and the Fuencaliente Lighthouse
beaches. Pay attention to tides and do not bathe when there
is a heavy swell and only with the utmost caution when the
yellow flag is flying . Never swim out beyond the breakers.
Nor should you underestimate the African sun: the cool trade
wind can lead you to forget its strength. Do not lie roasting
yourself for hours on end, avoid the midday heat and use a
high-factor sun lotion.
