    The beach at Ajuy (“Playa de los Muertos”, translated as “Beach of the Dead”) once served as a landing place for pirate ships.

    The somewhat strange name of the bay can be traced back to the past pirate attacks that often took place along this coastal region. These were usually terrible massacres in which many locals lost their lives.

        Wonderful beach. It's a great sight when the mostly high waves hit the deep black sand. However, caution is advised when swimming, as the surf is strong!
