Tacorón, Black sand beach in El Pinar, El Hierro, Spain
The 10-meter-long beach features volcanic black sand and red cliffs stretching along the southern coast of El Hierro island.
The beach formed through centuries of volcanic activity, creating natural pools and rocky formations that characterize the Mar de las Calmas region.
Local residents maintain the natural state of the beach by practicing sustainable tourism and protecting the surrounding marine environment.
Visitors can access Tacorón by following the coastal road from La Restinga, with parking facilities and restrooms available during summer months.
The combination of black sand, red cliffs, and natural pools creates distinct swimming areas that change appearance with the daily tides.
