Los Tarajales — naturist section
Puerto de Tazacorte, La Palma, Canary Islands
A recognised naturist section on the black-sand and pebble shore of Los Tarajales at Puerto de Tazacorte. The surrounding beach and promenade make this an approachable clothes-free option on La Palma’s west coast.
Nudity policy
Designated naturist section
The municipality’s current tourism page recognises a specific nude area within Los Tarajales, and its published council minutes retain a naturist zone alongside other beach uses. The whole beach is not a naturist area.
The southern dog-friendly section and the recognised nudist zone are distinct in current municipal guidance. Do not assume the promenade, main family beach or every part of Los Tarajales is clothing optional.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
No listed facilities are confirmed specifically within the naturist section. The municipality lists shared beach showers and toilets for Los Tarajales as a whole, with restaurants and parking around the promenade.
Access & visiting
Public beach access without membership, a beach-admission ticket or an overnight booking. Any parking, lounger or refreshment charge is separate; current access notices, closures and sea warnings take precedence.
Age & supervision
This is a shared public shoreline with no published minimum admission age or adult-only naturist enclosure in the checked visitor guidance. Children need adult supervision; the naturist boundaries and access conditions described below still apply.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Public coast throughout the year, subject to sea conditions, weather and local access restrictions; check current notices before travelling.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Go to Puerto de Tazacorte on the coast, rather than the upper town of Tazacorte. Reach the Los Tarajales side of the waterfront around Avenida El Emigrante, south of the main Puerto beach; the marker identifies the general shore, not an exact nude-zone entrance.
Parking
The municipal tourism page directs visitors to parking around the promenade and surrounding streets. Read current signs and leave harbour/service access clear; this is public approach parking, not a dedicated car park inside the naturist section.
Finding the naturist area
Follow the waterfront towards Los Tarajales and look for the posted naturist-area signs before choosing a place on the sand. A public photographer’s documented beach view on Avenida El Emigrante shows an Área Nudista sign, but its 2015 position is not treated as a current surveyed boundary; ask the tourist office if the signs are unclear.
Where naturism applies
Use the recognised marked naturist section only. The current municipal page separately describes the southern pet-friendly area, while historical boundaries have been discussed and adjusted; do not use the dog area or a distant harbour wall as a substitute for current signs.
- The municipality lists shared showers and other services for Los Tarajales as a whole; their exact position within the naturist zone is not confirmed.
- Sea conditions on this open west-coast shore can change; obey current flags and local notices.
- The map marker is approximate and does not replace the on-site naturist signage.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
