Puerto Naos beach, Black sand beach in Puerto Naos, La Palma, Spain.

Puerto Naos is a volcanic beach with black sand stretching roughly 500 meters along the coast, lined with tall palms and backed by clear Atlantic waters. The shore features multiple entry points and complete facilities including showers, restrooms, and first aid services.

This location served as a shipping port for banana exports in the early 1900s before gradually becoming a tourist destination. The shift from commerce to recreation reshaped the western coast of La Palma.

Puerto Naos takes its name from the Naos, the flat lava platforms at the shore where boats were once hauled out. The beach sits in the municipality of Los Llanos de Aridane, and the banana plantations behind it still mark the landscape; the port that gave the cove its name handled banana exports before tourism took over.

The beach is easily accessible with multiple entry points and is well suited for visitors with reduced mobility. Lifeguards are present and shade from palms as well as changing facilities are plentiful.

Puerto Naos sits about 1,800 km southwest of Madrid, on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands. The beach lies in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, and the surrounding land receives only around 311 mm of rain a year, with July averaging 26 °C and January 11 °C.
