Charco Azul, La Palma is one of the magnificent natural pools situated on the northern coast of the La Palma island, which belongs to the Canary archipelago. Being the part of one of the most beautiful municipalities of La Palma, San Andrés y Sauces, it is a perfect place for calm and peaceful rest.
The pool of Charco Azul, La Palma gained its name, which can be literally translated as "the blue puddle", due to its waves of marvelous shades of blue. These are the ocean waters flowing from the Atlantic into the sheltered lagoon. So, even when the outer ocean is somewhat rough, the waves here remain crystal clear and almost unbothered.
All of that offers a wonderful view of the sharp contrast of blue against the coastal volcanic rock and the breathtaking outlook on the horizon where the sky meets the ocean. Moreover, you will most likely be able to enjoy the luxurious ancient laurisilva forest of Los Tilos, which is recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Charco Azul, La Palma is also well-known for its service of the highest quality and such facilities as the smaller pool with the flat bottom for children, changing rooms, showers and toilets, umbrellas, railings, sunbathing and green areas. In addition, you even have the chance to attend the restaurant, which belongs to the Charco Azul complex, go for a walk or leave your car at one of the parking lots nearby. Visitors can stroll to the small and relatively not packed beach or to the fishing port of Puerto Espíndola, looking quite idyllic.
Having suffered damage after the landslide that occurred in 2009, the pool was renovated and redesigned. In 2011, it was finally opened once again. Two years later, this area was awarded Ecoplaya (the green beach) prize for the services, security, lush greenery and the cuisine of Charco Azul.
This quiet place can never leave anyone indifferent, so, no matter how old you are, you can safely come here, plunge into Charco Azul, La Palma and enjoy the outstanding panorama from the rocky La Palma coast!
