Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Echentive originated in 1971 following the Teneguía eruption, a circumstance explaining its recent volcanic landscape. It is an isolated beach of rounded stones and gravel, situated beside the Galería de la Fuente Santa and accompanied by natural pools described as very beautiful. It measures 230 metres long and 77 metres wide, opposite a cliff, with strong waves and wind. Access on foot is easy from the LP-207; there is parking for fewer than 50 vehicles and litter bins.
