Playa de las Burras, Beach in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Spain.
Playa de las Burras is a beach covered in black volcanic sand that stretches about 300 meters and connects two coastal areas through a walkway. This roughly 110-meter-wide section is protected by a breakwater and offers various facilities for visitors.
A large breakwater was built in the late 20th century, transforming this coastal stretch into a protected swimming area. This infrastructure development made the beach more accessible for recreation and tourism.
Fishermen from the area use the adjacent harbor for their boats and equipment, reflecting the maritime tradition of the island to this day. This working presence gives the beach an authentic connection to the roots of the local coastal community.
The beach has showers, sunbeds, umbrellas, and trash bins, including dedicated spaces for visitors with limited mobility. The breakwater infrastructure creates calmer waters, making swimming more comfortable for most people.
The beach receives steady winds year-round that create moderate waves and keep the water moving. These natural conditions attract not just swimmers but also enable light water activities for those seeking something beyond basic swimming.
