Playa de Echentive, Natural beach in Fuencaliente de La Palma, Spain

Playa de Echentive, also called Playa Nueva de Fuencaliente, is a pebble beach of black volcanic stones in the municipality of Fuencaliente, on the south of La Palma. It measures 230 metres long and 77 metres wide on average, and lies within the Monumento Natural de los Volcanes de Teneguía. Several natural pools form along the shore.

The beach formed during the Teneguía volcano eruption between October and November 1971, when lava flows extended the coastline into the sea. This eruption shaped the entire landscape and created the foundation for today's shore.

The beach sits near Fuente Santa, a thermal spring site buried by lava in 1677 and rediscovered in 2000, shaping how visitors understand the area's volcanic past. This geological feature connects locals and travelers to the raw power of nature.

The beach has no facilities, so bring your own water and supplies when visiting. Natural pools form at the cliff base, offering protected swimming areas when the sea is calm.

The beach lies within the Monumento Natural de los Volcanes de Teneguía, a protected volcanic landscape. Its black pebbles come from the 1971 Teneguía lava, and the shore is reached only on foot through an isolated stretch of coast with no buildings around it.
