About

It is one of the beaches of La Dama settlement, just 1.2 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs.

This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

To get to the beach, you need to walk along a mountain trail more than 1km long.

4 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Factoria de pescado beach, which has a rating of 5.

Playa de la Negra (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the La Dama settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the La Gomera, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

After reading the reviews, it's disheartening to see that humans are the root cause of destroying our planet and nature. It's unfortunate that some people give low ratings to beaches that don't have roads, shops, or Starbucks. What's wrong with enjoying the simplicity of nature? Instead of filling our pockets with money and seeking comfort in places like Monaco and London, we should appreciate and protect the beauty of our planet.

The beach offers a rugged and untamed mooring experience, with the bottom holding up impressively well.

The lack of a road leading down to the beach remains a concern as it poses a significant danger to visitors. Unfortunately, we had to park our car at Arguayoda and trek for about 5km to reach the beach, which took us approximately 90 minutes. The last kilometer was particularly challenging as there was no clear path to follow. While the beach itself was pleasant, the journey to get there was not worth the effort.

Regrettably, accessing the beach requires navigating a steep slope that spans 20-30 meters in length. The incline is approximately 40 degrees and features loose scree in some areas. There is no direct route to the beach. Once you reach the bottom, you'll find a small shelter that contains fishing gear, candles, an assortment of empty plastic bottles, and a chair. However, during our visit, we were unable to swim due to the powerful surf. The rocky terrain posed a risk of injury.
