From the first cave, you can go straight ahead via a short climb into the second cave. You can also walk into this one (with a flashlight).

To reach one of the viewing holes you have to climb up in near darkness. Be careful but it is definitely worth it.

Due to bloody pirate attacks, the black beach is nicknamed Playa de los Muertos - "Beach of the Dead". About two kilometers from Ajuy lies the Caleta Negra, the "Black Bay", which can be reached via a well-developed hiking trail. The dark caves extend up to 600 meters into the rock. Above the caves you can see a lime kiln, which not only provided a good hiding place for pirates, but was also used as a lime store. About one kilometer north of the Caleta Negra, the Peña Horadada rock arch rises out of the water.

Wonderful beach. It's a great sight when the mostly high waves hit the jet black sand. But be careful when swimming, strong surf!

A path leads from the beach to Caleta Negra (Black Bay), from where a steep staircase leads down to the caves. Tip: Wear sturdy shoes!

Stingrays and angel sharks, for example, live inside the caves. An overview of the cave formations can be obtained along a path up to the cliff.
