A day at the beach in Puerto Naos

Approximately one hour by car from the port of Santa Cruz de La Palma is Los Llanos de Aridane, in the south-west of La Palma, containing one of the island's main tourist resorts: Puerto Naos and its beach with its fine black sand at the foot of a cliff where there are still remains of past volcanic eruptions. The pleasant climate in this area of the island means you can enjoy swimming and other water sports and beautiful sunsets all year round.

Take a break from the cruise at Puerto Naos Beach

Puerto Naos Beach is the biggest one in La Palma. Known for its high-quality services, it has had a blue flag since 2007, which makes it one of the most important beaches on the island and it is also a favourite amongst diving fans. Its pretty avenue with terraces where you can try typical dishes from the gastronomy of the Canary Islands or take a quiet stroll, its calm water and the pleasant climate make it a perfect destination for enjoying on your port of call.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Use the waste- paper baskets and, insofar as possible, separate and place your recycling waste in the appropriate containers.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
In natural spaces and at viewpoints, do not leave the trail or the spaces designated for people to be in.
Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the public furniture and items for visitors, such as information panels or telescopes and binoculars.
