Playa de las Conchas

Playa de las Conchas is a captivating beach situated in the municipality of Teguise on La Graciosa, one of the Canary Islands in Spain. It is known for its natural beauty, characterized by soft, golden sands and clear, turquoise waters. The beach is quite expansive, with a width of 80 meters and a length of 610 meters.

However, due to its isolation and strong waves, it is known as a nudist beach where swimming is often prohibited for safety reasons. These strong waves, along with windy conditions, contribute to the beach's unique atmosphere. Despite the swimming restrictions, it remains a popular destination for its breathtaking views and serene ambiance.

Getting to Playa de las Conchas is quite an adventure. It involves a 45-minute drive from Puerto Carmen, followed by a 20-minute ferry ride and a 30-minute bicycle ride. Alternatively, the beach can also be reached via an electric-assisted bike.

One of the attractions near the beach is Montaña Bermeja, a hill that offers a short hike and a scenic viewpoint, adding an element of adventure to the beach visit.
