Tazacorte is on the west coast of La Palma, a small town with a dark sand beach. It can receive SW to W wind (offshore from the NE trades wrapping around the island, or direct westerly weather systems). Primarily a surf and SUP spot, with potential for wingfoil on windy days.

Remote and inconsistent for wind sports — an adventure spot for autonomous riders already on La Palma.
