What does the bathing index of 58 mean for swimmers?
The score of 58 out of 100 points is classed as "fair" by TodoPlayas. The platform advises caution because waves and wind affect the conditions.
The water temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and the waves are 0.96 metres. The wind is blowing at 9 km/h and the UV index is 0.
TodoPlayas says the figures are a guide and are updated live from official data. Actual conditions on the beach may differ.
Anyone entering the water should stay within the marked bathing zones. In Puerto Naos the designated bathing area extends up to 70 metres from the shoreline, the council says.
Which beaches belong to Los Llanos de Aridane?
The official "Playas de Aridane" page mainly lists Puerto Naos and Charco Verde. The coastal villages of El Remo and La Bombilla are also included.
Puerto Naos is regarded by the council as one of La Palma's most important tourist centres. The council highlights its promenade, leisure facilities and beach.
Charco Verde is a small cove with fine black sand and a calm sea. The council describes it as accessible to children and all visitors.
El Remo is described as a pebble beach with calm, clear water. The council says traditional Canarian food is available there.
What does the Blue Flag mean for visitors?
Puerto Naos and Charco Verde hold the Blue Flag, according to the council. The award recognises bathing water quality, sanitary facilities, services, safety and accessibility.
Both beaches have lifeguards and supervision, the council website says. There is a central rescue and first-aid point as well as marked leisure areas.
Toilets, changing rooms, showers and wooden walkways are available. The council also mentions safe access for people with reduced mobility.
The water quality is checked and analysed regularly, the council says. Charco Verde first received the Blue Flag in 2009.
Why is the council stepping up beach cleaning now?
The council said it is increasing cleaning because of the summer rise in the resident population. The tourist area of Puerto Naos is particularly affected.
The beaches, their immediate surroundings, main roads and rubbish bins are being cleaned, the council says. It does not give a specific period or budget.
The measure also covers the infrastructure around the bathing zones. Visitors should expect additional cleaning staff.
No extra charge for beach visitors is mentioned. The council puts the increase down to the summer population rise.
What is known about La Bombilla and El Remo?
La Bombilla is a rocky coastal spot that the council says is especially popular with anglers. Underwater fishing, rod fishing and diving are mentioned.
El Remo is described as a pebble beach with calm, clear water. The council says traditional Canarian food is available there.
The council page gives no bathing index values for either place, unlike for Puerto Naos. Entry prices and parking charges are also not published.
Anyone looking for a quieter alternative will find Playa de Murgas 0.9 kilometres away, according to TodoPlayas. It is considered natural and not urbanised.
What should visitors bear in mind on 25 October?
The next low tide at Playa de Puerto Naos is at 06:13 with 0.45 metres, according to TodoPlayas. The tide is falling in the morning.
The UV index is 0, which makes sun protection less urgent. The water temperature of 25 degrees Celsius is suitable for swimming.
The council advises caution when swimming at Playa de Puerto Naos on 25 October 2026 because of waves and wind, TodoPlayas reports. The marked bathing zones and lifeguards' instructions should be followed.
The council gives no specific period for the increased cleaning. Current closures or swimming bans are also not listed on the page checked.
