Playa Bollullo, Black sand beach in La Orotava, Spain
El Bollullo beach extends along a secluded bay, featuring volcanic black sand and steep cliffs that frame the shoreline against the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach emerged from ancient volcanic activity that created Tenerife island, resulting in the characteristic dark sand composition that remains unchanged through centuries.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at El Bollullo beach, marking a continuation of northern Tenerife's maritime heritage through generations.
Access to El Bollullo requires a 30-minute walk from Puerto de la Cruz or parking at the designated area followed by a descent via steep concrete steps.
Natural rock formations along the beach create separate coves during high tide, forming temporary pools in the black sand.
