Open · Adverse weather warning: heavy swell and strong winds on the coast. Avoid going to the beaches until the warning is lifted.

The lava from the eruption of the Teneguía volcano, which occurred between October and November 1971, gained ground from the sea and formed this beach, known as Playa Nueva or Playa de Echentive. Converted into a referent for bathers on the Fuencaliente coastline, it measures approximately 275m in length and offers a typically volcanic appearance, in which stone and gravels of different thickness predominate. Several trails allow the tour of the environment, which will allow us to discover the charms of this hidden spots of La Palma.

Information

The unique landscape surrounding Echentive Beach conceals two spectacular natural pools at the foot of the nearby cliff, whose formation is particularly striking and of great scenic interest.

Close by lies the gallery of the Fuente Santa (“Holy Spring”), a thermal spring with healing properties that was buried by the 1677 eruption and rediscovered in 2000. At present, there is a project to transform it into a spa, and it is expected to be opened to the public in the future.
