About Puerto de Tazacorte
Puerto de Tazacorte: Black-Sand Harbour on La Palma's West Coast
Puerto de Tazacorte sits on the western shore of La Palma, Canary Islands, roughly 3 km downhill from the hilltop town of Tazacorte. The village grew around a small fishing harbour and a stretch of black volcanic sand — the colour a direct result of historic lava flows from the Cumbre Vieja ridge that dominates the island's spine. The 2021 eruption of the Tajogaite volcano added new land at the coast just 2 km to the south, making the shoreline here one of the most recently reshaped in Europe.
Where to Stay
Hotels and apartments in Puerto de Tazacorte cluster along Avenida Marítima and the streets immediately above the harbour. Most properties are small-scale — under 50 rooms — and cater to divers, surfers, and hikers using the village as a base for the Ruta de los Volcanes trail. The clear Atlantic waters off the pier draw dive operators year-round, with visibility frequently exceeding 20 metres.
Practical Tips
- Getting there: Fly into La Palma Airport (SPC), 25 km north; taxis take about 30 minutes.
- Best season: Year-round mild climate; water temperatures average 21 °C in summer, 18 °C in winter.
- Local transport: Buses connect Puerto de Tazacorte to Santa Cruz de La Palma (the island capital) roughly every two hours on weekdays.
