Here you can see the beach of the island's capital and the harbor. A little further north you'll find the whale sculpture.

One of the most extraordinary highlights on Santa Cruz beach is the colorful resin whale sculpture that suddenly appeared in December 2021. It was erected while the island was still dealing with the aftermath of the Tajogaite volcano eruption and quickly became a symbol of hope, resilience, and new beginnings on La Palma.
