Mirador de la Playa de Nogales

Mirador de la Playa de Nogales is one of those breathtaking spots in La Palma that truly showcases the wild Atlantic character of the island, especially when clouds roll in and ocean waves crash dramatically against the cliffs. This scenic viewpoint offers spectacular panoramic views over one of the island's most impressive volcanic black sand beaches, nestled between towering coastal cliffs.

From here begins the trail down to Playa de Nogales, an adventure featuring roughly 600 meters of stairs carved into the rock face that wind down the clifftide. The path is manageable for most visitors and leads you to discover a wild yet welcoming beach where black volcanic sand meets the deep blue Atlantic. It's a beloved spot among both locals and travelers seeking unspoiled nature away from crowded tourist areas. Open 24 hours, though early morning visits are recommended for a quieter experience and better light for photography. A must-visit when exploring La Palma's eastern coast.
