La Palma is not geared up for extensive tourism and hopefully it will stay this way! The island of La Palma is a nature lovers paradise and is predominantly geared up for tourists who just want to get out into the beautiful countryside and take in the magnificent views. La Palma truly is an island for people who just want to get out and walk , relax and re wind their batteries.
The island of La Palma does have some beaches but if you like to get into the water these beaches can be quite rough and at times are not for the faint hearted, high waves and strong currents are often the case and you really do need to be cautious. Having said that, if the conditions are right the crystal clear waters can be fantastic for snorkeling and diving.
The atmosphere of this Canary Island is quite laid back, natural and authentic. This generally means the night life is very low key. A meal at the local restaurant and a casual walk in the evenings is about as lively as it gets. If you are determined to find a more lively night life try Santa Cruz, you will find a more up beat night life in the capital.
La Palmas capital town of Santa Cruz is not that big and it does have some interesting old buildings mixed in with the more modern restaurants and cafes.
