Playa de las Arenas Blancas

El Hierro


Curled into the isolated western end of El Golfo, just off the HI500 6.5km northwest of Sabinosa, this spectacularly positioned swathe of blonde sand melts into volcanic rock at the water's edge. It's a fantastic spot – wild and beautiful and with views sprawling all across El Golfo – but take care with the dangerous currents if you're swimming.
