Playa del Chatarrero, Black sand beach in Garachico, Spain.
The beach extends 50 meters in length and 36 meters in width, featuring dark volcanic sand that marks the meeting point between land and Atlantic Ocean.
The beach lies near Garachico's former harbor, which served as a principal maritime trading post for Tenerife until the volcanic eruption of 1706.
Local fishermen regularly cast their nets from this shoreline, maintaining traditional fishing methods passed through generations in the Canary Islands.
The beach provides essential facilities including restrooms, waste containers, and a tourist information office, with multiple restaurants within walking distance.
The sand contains particles of solidified lava from Mount Teide, creating a distinctive dark composition that reflects the volcanic origins of Tenerife.
