Playa Los Gigantes, Coastal beach in Los Gigantes, Spain
The dark volcanic sand beach stretches along the base of massive 800-meter cliffs, creating a natural amphitheater facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The indigenous Guanche people named the towering cliffs of Los Gigantes, believing these natural formations housed enormous mythological beings.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at the adjacent marina, supplying fresh catches to the beachfront restaurants each morning.
The beach provides rental services for sunbeds, umbrellas, and water sports equipment, with lifeguards on duty during summer months.
Marine scientists regularly document whale and dolphin populations from this location due to the deep-water conditions created by the vertical cliff walls.
