Vallehermoso Beach

A beach with swimming pools

Located in the municipality of Vallehermoso, just 3 kilometres from the city centre, this black sand and pebble beach is a tourist favourite. The water temperature is around 20 degrees almost all year round. A maritime park is also local. It has a swimming pool and a restaurant that’s open 365 days of the year.

Walk to Vallehermoso

If you visit the maritime park in summer, you’ll probably be able to catch a local musical performance. Playa de Vallehermoso is just five minutes by car from Vallehermoso (or 30 minutes on foot). So this is a great place to combine a beach day with a walk around a charming Canary Islands town.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
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 from the environment.
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'.
Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
Try to use ocean-friendly sun creams.
Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
