Puerto Naos combines La Palma’s largest beach with the summer Fiesta del Agua. Its black volcanic sand, seafront promenade and activities ranging from diving to paragliding offer a variety of experiences. For planning, it is worth considering beach facilities, activities and possible festival dates separately: the festival schedule and some beach services may vary.
Black Volcanic Sand and Seafront Promenade
Puerto Naos Beach is the largest on the island of La Palma. Its black volcanic sand can have slightly greenish hues, caused by dust from olivine rock. A seafront promenade shaded by coconut palms runs along the beach.
In 2026, the beach was awarded the Blue Flag once again by the AsociaciĂłn de EducaciĂłn Ambiental y del Consumidor (ADEAC). The award takes into account factors including water quality, safety, services and environmental commitment. For future trips, check the current status, as the award is time-limited.
Facilities and services include designated sports and leisure areas, sun umbrellas and loungers for hire, toilets, showers, rubbish bins, a cleaning service and a telephone. Facilities and services may change seasonally. If a particular service is important to you, check its current availability before your trip.
Activities and Access
The beach has good access, including for people with reduced mobility. If accessibility is important to your plans, check the specific access arrangements again before your trip. Areas for sports and leisure are also designated within the bathing area.
The coast at Puerto Naos is suitable for beginner scuba divers. Before taking part, find out about access to the sea and the conditions. The beach is also a meeting point for paragliding enthusiasts. Paragliding offers a chance to experience Puerto Naos from the air, above one of the sunniest areas of the island. Check take-off and operating conditions locally.
The Summer Fiesta del Agua
The Fiesta del Agua is an important part of Puerto Naos’s festival calendar and takes place in summer. It is considered a tradition that has grown over decades and reached several generations. The distinction between the festival and a beach visit is important for planning: the festival is tied to the summer season, while specific dates and events may vary. If you would like to plan your trip around the Fiesta, confirm the next edition locally.
Tourist Information Office
The Puerto Naos Tourist Information Office reopened on 3 July 2025. When it reopened, its services included in-person assistance for visitors and residents, as well as the distribution of promotional materials. If you would like to use the office to help plan your trip, check in advance whether it is currently open and what services are available.
