Playa Barranco Arriba, also known as Punta Prieta, is located in the Canary Islands, Spain. The beach offers a dramatic volcanic landscape with rocky terrain and a serene ambiance. It is characterized by its unique 'popcorn' relief, which becomes more pronounced at low tide. Visitors can enjoy walks along the shore, especially during sunrise, despite sometimes cloudy conditions. The beach is not typically crowded, allowing for a peaceful experience. It is popular for water sports like surfing due to its rocky reef, but swimming can be challenging due to sharp rocks and seaweed.
The area provides stunning views of the surrounding islands and is close to the town of Orzola. The combination of scenic views and water activities makes it a preferred spot for those seeking a tranquil yet adventurous beach experience.
For accommodation and dining needs, nearby towns offer a variety of hotels and restaurants.
