Piscinas de La Fajana is a group of three outdoor seawater pools on La Palma’s north-east coast, in the town of La Fajana. The pools sit at different levels beside the Atlantic, where you can swim with the waves beyond the sheltered edges. Steps and handrails help with access, and paths connect the pools with benches, changing huts, toilets and showers. Bring a snorkel to look for marine life in the water, then rest beneath the cliffs or follow the short paths along the coast.
Three pools beside the Atlantic
The natural pools are on La Palma’s north-east coast, in the small town of La Fajana. Three open-air pools sit beside one another at different elevations. They give you a place to swim close to the Atlantic while staying within the pools’ sheltered waters.
Rock formations and the open coastline frame the area. Paths link the pools, with rope barriers along parts of the layout. Benches provide places to sit or leave your belongings.
Facilities and time by the water
The site has toilets, changing huts and cold outdoor showers. Steps and handrails provide access to the pools, and benches beneath parasols offer a place to rest. Overhanging cliffs also create shaded spots, useful when you want a break from direct sun.
Bring a snorkel to look for fish in the pools. Swimming is typically possible from July to September. Short paths along the cliffs give you a closer look at the coast, and guesthouses overlook the shoreline nearby.
