Playa de Chimisay, Protected beach and cultural heritage site in Tenerife, Spain.
The black volcanic sand beach stretches for 1010 meters along the northern coast of Tenerife, bordered by steep natural cliffs and native vegetation.
The location gained prominence when Guanche shepherds discovered the image of the Virgin of Candelaria, leading to the construction of a memorial chapel.
The name Chimisay derives from Guanche language, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the Canary Islands through linguistic preservation.
The beach includes a rock breakwater for swimmer protection and maintains regular bus connections through Titsa lines 122 and 124 from Santa Cruz.
The beach forms part of the Llano de la Virgen Historic Site, combining natural coastal features with designated cultural heritage status.
