Echentid Beach

If you are looking for a beach with a touch of history, you definitely have to visit the beach of Echentive or Playa Nueva. This beach is located in the south of the island in the municipality of Fuenhot, very close to the Faro and became one of the most popular places to visit after the eruption of the Teneguía volcano in 1971. Today, it is part of the Natural Monument of the Volcanoes of Teneguía, which means that you will be surrounded by an impressive natural landscape. The beach of Echentive was formed with the eruption of the Teneguia in 1971. It is perfect for those who seek a different beach experience. With a length of approximately 280 meters, you can enjoy its crystalline waters and its volcanic black sand. Although the beach looks wild, don't worry, it's easy to get there by car or through trails. If you like to walk, we recommend you follow the path that will take you from the beach to the Fuenhot Lighthouse. On the way, you can admire the local flora and fauna and enjoy the panoramic views of the coast. If you're a beach and nature lover, you can't miss this unique experience! Playa de Echentive is one of the most popular destinations on the island of La Palma and a magical place to see the best sunsets on the island. Enchentid Beach in La Palma houses a natural treasure buried by the eruption of the San Antonio Volcano in November 1677: La Fuente Santa. The Aborigines of the island, known as Benahorites, already knew this thermal source that became very popular among the Castilians, who were travelling from all over Spain and Europe to try to cure themselves from skin diseases. The fame of the Holy Fountain was such that the people around it took its name: Fuenhot. However, on November 13, 1677, the eruption of the San Antonio Volcano buried the fountain under a thick layer of lava and pushed the sea 400 meters towards the coast. Despite this, the Government of the Canary Islands has recently conducted a survey in the area and found temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius. The aim of the Government of the Canary Islands is to take advantage of these thermal waters in the future by creating a gallery to take them out and to establish a spa in the area. This initiative could revive the fame of the Holy Source and allow visitors to enjoy the benefits of their therapeutic waters, making it a new tourist attraction for the island of La Palma. .
