Playa Charco del Musgo o de Graciliano is nestled in the serene town of Candelaria on the coast of the Canary Islands. This beach is known for its remarkably dark sand, offering a unique beach experience despite its compact size. It is ideal for activities like swimming, sunbathing, and exploring nearby natural rock pools. However, the beach has few amenities, making it suitable for those seeking relaxation and tranquility without the crowds.
Its setting within Candelaria provides access to a blend of peaceful town vibes and the local culture, which is enriched by the annual Feast of the Virgin of Candelaria. The surrounding landscape offers scenic views and options for exploration, though the beach itself remains pristine and undisturbed.
Candelaria's proximity to other attractions, such as the Basilica and nearby black sand beaches, enhances its appeal to visitors looking for a more off-the-beaten-path experience within the Canary Islands.
