Playa de Punta Larga, Urban shingle beach in Candelaria, Spain

The 230-meter-long beach combines olive sand with pebbles along a coastal promenade, providing spaces for sunbathing and swimming activities.

The beach area evolved from a traditional fishing zone into a recreational destination following the tourism development of Candelaria in the twentieth century.

Local residents gather at the beach throughout the year for community celebrations, featuring traditional Canarian music and gastronomy events.

The beach features wheelchair-accessible ramps, changing rooms, showers, and a nearby parking area that accommodates up to 100 vehicles.

A protective breakwater stretches 240 meters into the sea, creating natural pools where visitors can swim protected from ocean currents.
