Playa La Pared

Cliff, open sea and one of the longest sunsets on the island.

Best time
At sunset
Area
Macanao peninsula
Duration
1–3 h

La Pared sits on Macanao’s north coast, at the foot of the cliff it is named after. It faces west, so at the end of the day the sun drops straight into the open sea and the sky stays lit for a long time. The water is rough and deep: this is a beach for looking and photographing more than swimming. Above the cliff there are natural lookouts where people sit and wait for the sunset.
