Playa Blanca

Playa Blanca ("White Beach," though "Black Beach with a few white specks" is a better name) is a small beach of shiny black volcanic sand, backing on to a tiny hamlet with a few summer homes; it's a tranquil spot and there's a rocky coast perfect for fishing or crabbing. The road down to the beach from the LP-2 highway is signposted to "La Salemera" and the turning is around 1.3km north along the highway from the Parque Ecológico de Belmaco.
