Las Playas Beach

Las Playas is a remote and unspoiled beach on the eastern coast of El Hierro. Comprised of black volcanic sand and pebbles, the beach is framed by towering cliffs, creating a dramatic and secluded atmosphere.

Unlike the more touristy beaches of the Canary Islands, Las Playas is a quiet retreat, perfect for those seeking an escape. The waters are usually calm, making it suitable for swimming, though there are no lifeguards or major facilities.

One of the best-known landmarks in the area is the Roque de la Bonanza, a striking rock formation emerging from the sea, often photographed as a symbol of El Hierro’s rugged beauty.

Accessible by car, Las Playas is ideal for those looking to unwind in a natural setting, away from crowds, while enjoying stunning views of the islands coast.
