Playa los Cancajos, Black sand beach in Breña Baja, La Palma, Spain.
Los Cancajos beach extends for 624 meters along the eastern coast of La Palma, featuring distinctive black volcanic sand and natural rock formations.
The beach emerged from ancient volcanic activity that shaped La Palma's coastline, creating the characteristic dark sand and protective rock formations.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at Los Cancajos, bringing fresh catches directly to the beachfront restaurants throughout the day.
The beach provides complete facilities including showers, restrooms, sun lounger rentals, and designated parking areas two kilometers from Santa Cruz de La Palma.
Natural breakwaters formed by volcanic rocks create protected swimming areas with clear waters, revealing numerous fish species near the surface.
