The Pozo Negro beach is quiet with a solitary, atmospheric ocean feeling. There are few tourists, two restaurants, a hostel with capacity for 60 people.
The first historical references to Pozo Negro date from the conquest, almost 600 years ago, but it looks certain that the area has been in constant habitation since the era before the arrival of the conquerors. The natural port offers shelter from the ocean’s waves and was originally used as a jetty for people and goods. An interesting detour involves stopping at La Atalayita which is an important historical aboriginal settlement with 115 buildings that is integrated into the Network of Centres and Museums. The area was popular with the native inhabitants of the island because of the presence of shrimp and the existence of fresh water wells.
