Playa del Verodal
A rare red-sand beach on the island, backed by volcanic cliffs with spectacular sunsets, though the surf is too strong for swimming.
Playa del Verodal lies on the island's northwestern coast and is one of El Hierro's few large sandy beaches. Its sand is dark red, backed by steep volcanic cliffs and reddish-brown mountains, creating a wild and spectacular scene. The beach faces the Atlantic, where big waves and rip currents are common, so swimming requires great caution. Even on calm days, only wading at the water's edge is advisable, making it better for photos and sunsets. It has a parking area and basic facilities, is free to visit, and is about 15 minutes' drive from Sabinosa. It can be combined with the Faro de Orchilla.
