"This beach is accessible only via the Camino de los Gracioseros trail or by boat. Golden sand with black veins and a view of La Graciosa Island. There's nothing there, so bring plenty of water and food, especially if you're coming via the trail."
Jul 15, 2026"A golden sandy beach in the shape of a cove... Close-up view of the island of La Gracia. Old, abandoned salt pans nearby. Very few people here, because this beach is well worth the effort. When I visited in late June, in the afternoon, there were only about ten people... It's about an hour's walk from a designated parking area at the top, the first part of which is on a steep, hillside path. The return trip, after a good swim and a relaxing break, takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Be careful, bring food and especially plenty of water because there's absolutely nothing at the bottom... Beautiful sunset over the island of La Graciosa (in June)."
Jul 11, 2026"Enchanting and pristine beach! A day here is highly recommended if you want to enjoy the sea, nature, and a wild beach! The approach is difficult due to the steep, rocky path that limits the beach's accessibility, but with a minimum level of fitness, you can reach it in about an hour and enjoy this paradise."
