One of La Palma's two most popular destinations, Puerto Naos is a coastal settlement boasting the island's longest beach. It's a good choice for sun-seekers, and nearby Eco Finca Platano Logico makes for an interesting excursion for those interested in learning about the island's sustainable eco-farming.
Do & See
La Palma attracts adventurous types – leisurely sunbathing is often overlooked in favour of hiking the island's volcanic landscapes, exploring verdant laurel greenery and discovering the magic of Roque de los Muchachos Observatory. La Palma's weather conditions are excellent for paragliding, and although beaches are far from being the island's primary appeal, there are a few attractive swimming locations dotting the coastline.
