Pozo Negro: A Fishing Village Nestled in Volcanic Splendor
Pozo Negro is an unspoiled fishing village characterized by white houses and a pristine, dark-colored beach. The reddish hills that surround the bay provide a distinct backdrop, contrasting vividly with the volcanic hue of the beach. The beach at Pozo Negro consists of black stones interspersed with sandy patches. Millions of years ago, one of the island’s final lava flows gave birth to this unique black beach, which stands in stark contrast to the nearby reddish mountains. The remnants of the magma flow are still visible, extending into the sea.
