Playa de Las Gaviotas, Black sand beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.
Las Gaviotas extends over 100 meters along the northeastern coast of Tenerife, bordered by natural cliffs and dark volcanic sand.
The volcanic formations that created the black sand beach date back to ancient geological processes that shaped the Canary Islands landscape.
Local residents frequently gather at this secluded beach, maintaining its status as an alternative to more commercial coastal destinations.
Visitors need to take the TF-121 highway from Las Teresitas Beach and find parking in the designated area that accommodates 50 vehicles.
The beach lacks standard facilities, allowing visitors to experience the raw coastal environment without modern infrastructure interference.
