Playa del Janubio

Playa del Janubio is a beautiful beach located at the end of the salt pans. It is characterized by its volcanic black sand and rocky areas, which provide a unique and picturesque setting. The beach is also known for its fairly strong tides, which can be seen lapping at the rocks, and the ocean's power is truly on display here with very strong waves. The beach is a nature conservation site, although bird sightings may be less frequent than expected. Despite this, the area is still a lovely place for a walk, with the changing sunshine throughout the day providing different views of the stunning salt fields. Playa del Janubio is also a clothing-optional beach, providing a more relaxed and free-spirited atmosphere for visitors. It has its own rustic car park, making it easily accessible for those who choose to drive. One unique feature of this beach is that it is a place where one can find peridot, a gem-quality olivine, which adds an element of fun and adventure to a visit. However, visitors should be aware of the rough seas and strong waves, which can pose a challenge for swimming.
