Have you ever wondered why a beach is called Playa de los Muertos, the Beach of the Dead? This dramatic black sand beach on Fuerteventura is a place of mystery and intrigue.

It has long been said that many ships, including those of pirates, have met their fate on the shores of this beach. The name evokes a sense of danger and history, and the location itself is certainly dramatic. The beach is nestled beneath a towering cliff called Punta de la Nao, and the waters are constantly crashing against the dark volcanic sands.
