Playa de Arenas is a sandy beach popular with tourists and local inhabitants.
The most beautiful beach on the island is Playa de Verodal. A small, with reddish volcanic sand, lying at the foot of a high cliff, this beach despite its picturesqueness is not very popular - and all because of the bad road.
LaRestina is also one of the most popular resorts on Hierro. Here is a large hotel, residential complex and the Avenida Maritima embankment, which is famous for its large number of shops, bars and restaurants. In the center of the resort is a small beach with black sand. On the beach there are rich opportunities for water sports, including diving.
