Puerto Naos Beach
Information
Phoenix Naos Beach is a beautiful black sand beach located on the island of La Palma. It offers a variety of amenities and is known for its stunning sunsets. However, post-volcanic eruption recovery has left some areas still closed, resulting in a somewhat ghost town atmosphere.
- Pros: Clean and well-maintained, wide beach with public facilities, many restaurants and bars in the vicinity, and a tranquil setting.
- Cons: Limited activity due to ongoing repairs and closures, presence of stones in the water, parking can be challenging, and some areas may be overcrowded during peak times.
Despite these challenges, the beach remains a worthwhile visit, especially with its beautiful views and natural surroundings.

Fantastic experience: The beach is really very clean and invites you to stay. There are only a few tourists, and the sunbeds are sometimes even free. Moreover, there is more than enough parking available, and the various restaurants, especially the beach café, are highly recommended. Water temperature is also excellent.
Fantastic experience: A very nice beach suitable for bathing in La Palma. Many beaches are less suitable for swimming due to waves and currents, but here it is possible without any problems. We also found the backdrop with the colorful houses and palm trees quite nice. However, there was little to no shade. We could only 'withstand' it for 1-2 hours; we would definitely come back here on another visit to La Palma ☀️ parking was free and just a 5-minute walk away.
Positive experience: Finally open again. Beautiful beach. Only one kiosk. Everything else is still closed. Parking available, but you might have to search a bit on the streets. Shade spots on the beach are quickly taken.
Negative experience: We drove all the way down for nothing. The place is closed as well as the beach.
Fantastic experience: Für mich der schönste Natur Sandstrand auf La Palma. Schwarzer Sand, der sich bei hohem Sonnenstand extrem aufheizt... Schuhe oder Sandalen, sowie eine Liege mit Sonnenschirm sind daher empfehlenswert. Vorne am Flutsaum ist es nicht ganz so heiß. Es gibt einen Strandkiosk und einige Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Strand. Meines Wissens ist der Strand(Stand Sommer 2023) immer noch wegen des Vulkanausbruchs gesperrt....wie auch der Kern des Ortes. Ich hoffe in absehbarer Zeit mal wieder diesen Teil dieser wunderschönen Insel besuchen zu können!

Positive experience: This place was very good pre volcanic eruption. Unfortunately for now it's a ghost town because the roads have only just opened recently. I'm sure in the near future it will get back to its busy self when shops and restaurants/cafes all reopen. I wouldn't want this review to put anybody off from going as it's just a shame that it's taken a long while to start its rehabilitation.
Fantastic experience: Muy bien, la playa limpia y la arena volcanica mucho mejor que en otras playas
Negative experience: Cagadero de perros justo detrás de la playa, carteles por todos lados informado de multa en caso de dejar los excrementos y la gente local no hace no caso. En un rato pude ver a cuatro personas con sus perros dejando excrementos detrás.
Positive experience: Spiaggia di sabbia vulcanica,nera e fine, bel lungoceano con palme e bei edifici. Posto poco affollato.
Fantastic experience: Playa con arenas volcánicas con todos los servicios muy cerca...

Positive experience: Something is still missing in the life of the shops and restaurants/bars. Unfortunately, when we were there, there were also no sunbed or umbrella rentals.

Fantastic experience: The beach has improved a lot, it has CO2 detectors and a fire service team to ensure the safety of visitors. It will take some time to achieve normalcy, but it will be achieved.
Fantastic experience: Muy bien organizada, con "parcelas", para mantener las distancias de seguridad.
Positive experience: Estupenda plata de arena negra, con un paseo marítimo muy bonito, con todos los servicios próximos incluyendo el puesto de socorrista y con amplios aparcamientos para estacionar y pernoctar algún furgón o caravana.
Positive experience: Sehr hübscher keiner Strand (schwarzer Sand), alles da, was man braucht - Liegen, Schirme, Duschen, Toiletten, selbst Rettungsschwimmer gibt es. Jetzt in der Nebensaison ideal. In der Hauptsaison wird der kleine Strand vermutlich sehr voll.
Fantastic experience: Schöner Strand , mit Sanitäranlage. Von Rettungsschwimmern bewacht.

Fantastic experience: Calm but fun
Fantastic experience: Bester Strand auf La Palma mit schwarzem Lava Sand, der in der Sonne gehörig aufheizt. Sonnenschirm und Strandschuhe unbedingt mitbringen. Gute Infrastruktur für Urlauber, es gibt diverse Kioskos (direkt am Strand), Bars und Restaurants (an der Promenade), Liegen und Sonnenschirmverleih, Toiletten und "Bademeister" vom Cruz Roja. Wer früh morgens hingeht (vor 10 Uhr) hat den Strand ganz für sich, Abends traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge.
Fantastic experience: Sulla costa ovest dell'isola, questa spiaggia, completamente accessibile alle persone diversamente abili e con toilette adeguate, offre servizi di tutti i generi; chioschi bar, doccie sulla spiaggia, sdraio/ombrelloni (a pagamento, circa 6 Euro per ombrellone e due sdraio), rete da pallavolo, reti da calcio, bagni con spogliatoio ed altre doccie, guardaspiagge e, soprattutto, un locale di Pronto Soccorso con personale qualificato. Per effetto della posizione, si possono vedere tramonti spettacolari.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach - unfortunately, the place is still suffering from the effects of the volcanic eruption in 2021.
Fantastic experience: Calm but fun
Fantastic experience: A clean beach, both outside and inside the water, very quiet and despite suffering the effects of the volcano, it is gradually recovering its virtues, which are many.
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, the place looks very promising. Due to the Cumbre Vieja eruptions (emitting dangerous gases), it was closed for a long time, but it is timidly coming back to life; you can already eat something, and some shops are already open. The nearby hotel has come to life and tourists have appeared. It seems that it will only get better and better.
Fantastic experience: Very calm, with sun loungers/parasol, cleanliness and quality services
Fantastic experience: A very nice beach suitable for bathing in La Palma. Many beaches are less suitable for swimming due to waves and currents, but here it is possible without any problems.

We could only 'withstand' it for 1-2 hours; we would definitely come back here on another visit to La Palma ☀️ parking was free and just a 5-minute walk away.
Positive experience: Just beautiful there.
Fantastic experience: It starts to rise
Positive experience: Actually a central bathing resort, still limited by the volcanic eruption and somewhere between relaxation and a public pool.
Positive experience: Something is still missing in the life of the shops and restaurants/bars. Unfortunately, when we were there, there were also no sunbed or umbrella rentals.
Positive experience: Many stones
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, very clean!
Positive experience: Very nice... the politicians don't let the merchants advance, all the light poles with gas detectors, and I don't understand a detector placed where there are no pipes or records of any kind... it's a complete business for whoever set it up.
Positive experience: It is on the rise, there is still very little gastronomy. But it will get there....
Positive experience: Finally open again. Beautiful beach. Only one kiosk. Everything else is still closed. Parking available, but you might have to search a bit on the streets. Shade spots on the beach are quickly taken.
Negative experience: Currently a ghost town!!
Fantastic experience: Finally, learning is returning.
Fantastic experience: Reopening after the volcanic event. Everything clean, well-maintained, and renovated.
Positive experience: Apparently, the place is still struggling with the aftermath of the volcanic eruption. Almost all the shops and venues along the promenade are still closed. At least the two kiosks on the beach are open. The beach is relatively lively, but not as crowded as in Tazacorte.
Negative experience: What a dead place there. Everything closed and therefore totally no atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: The beach is beautiful, clean, and large. The village itself is not very interesting; it's small and has no old houses.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place ☺️
Fantastic experience: Tranquility, a lot of tranquility
Positive experience: It's soul-crushing to see such a beautiful, touristy place so ready for enjoyment being so closed and desolate. When we went, it had already regained the blue flag after being closed for 3 years due to volcanic gas concentration. But there still wasn't much activity and even fewer bathers. Little by little, it will return to what it was and will stop being the ghost beach it has been until now. I found it very beautiful, well connected, and with a wonderful climate.
Positive experience: Just remains the right side of the beach to be fully reopened... Hopefully soon it'll be back to its previous summery vibes...
Positive experience: This place was very good pre volcanic eruption. Unfortunately for now it's a ghost town because the roads have only just opened recently. I'm sure in the near future it will get back to its busy self when shops and restaurants/cafes all reopen. I wouldn't want this review to put anybody off from going as it's just a shame that it's taken a long while to start its rehabilitation.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, but it was deserted due to the CO2 levels being too high in the basements there because of the volcanic eruption in 2021.
Fantastic experience: At the beginning of June, we visited the beaches in Puerto Naos. Very nice beach, wide with pitch-black sand, warm water, there are clean public restrooms (maybe they were so clean because it was still before the season), there are showers and places to eat. Although the restaurants are still closed, there was a booth where a nice lady served really good hamburgers (€6) and played nice music. A place worth sunbathing!
Fantastic experience: The best beach on the island
Negative experience: We drove all the way down for nothing. The place is closed as well as the beach.
Positive experience: The city is closed due to volcanic emissions, deserted like in a post-apocalyptic movie...
Positive experience: From the descriptions, it looks fantastic from behind the fence, unfortunately, the place was closed.
Positive experience: We were one of the few tourists who managed to apply for a QR code to access the beach, which has been partially reopened since January 15, 2024. Since we were alone on the beach due to this circumstance, it was very pleasant. The town itself is touristically ugly. We would normally avoid the place. However, since Puerto Naos is currently closed due to volcanic gases and is thus a ghost town, it was very interesting.
Fantastic experience: It is not possible to visit it now due to the gas from the eruption.
Positive experience: Black sand beach. Spectacular sunsets. Quite a few dining establishments. Very quiet off-season.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place, I have been living here for two months now. There are diffuse CO2 emissions in some spots, so you have to be careful where you go and not enter without a certified CO2 meter.
Negative experience: BE CAREFUL NOT TO GO. It is closed due to gas.
Fantastic experience: The best beach we found. Well organised and a few good places to eat.
Positive experience: Nice, but touristy.
