The Timanfaya National Park reaches the coast, and therefore, despite its features and the fact that it is extremely difficult for fauna and flora to grow, it is an excellent area to study the colonisation and life evolution processes.

With regards to the flora, there are no trees although there are some plants such as the Verbascum pulverulentum, Verol Dulce, Ramalina, Salado Blanco, Berode and the Verol Tojío (Aeonium species), although the main protagonist that survives in this landscape is the lichen, and there are close to 200 different taxon.  

The National Park is also a ZEPA area (Special Bird Protection Area). The fauna goes from a massive flow of migrant birds sheltered there, to fish on the coast, and a range of small insects very common in the area.

The vertebrate wildlife includes the black rat, the Canarian shrew and the rabbit, next to two reptiles: the Haría lizard and the gecko.

The migrant birds include 22 species that can be considered nesting birds, like the partridge bird, the turtledove, the common owl and the common kestrel. Let’s not forget the scopoli's shearwater, the Egyptian vulture, the vieja hembra, the barbary falcon and the band-rumped storm petrel.

On the coast, the species have colonised faster led by the red crab, the limpets, the small  burgados, the starfish, octopus, sepia, moray eels, the ornate wrasse and the vieja fish.
