La Arena Beach, Candelaria

The perfect place for a leisurely day enjoying the waves and the sea breeze. Made of black sand and shingle, this beach is on the coast of Candelaria, in the town it is named after.

There are not usually many people, except in summer, and even then it does not get crowded. Most swimmers are from the town or nearby, so you will find the atmosphere to be peaceful and welcoming.

It is easily accessible but watch out for the waves as they can get quite strong.
