About

Playa de Mocan is located on the North Atlantic Ocean (part of Atlantic ocean) and it is in the 170th place out of 242 beaches in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife region 148.3 km away from its center, the city of Santa Ursula. It is one of the beaches of Tijarafe settlement, just 1.7 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a straight coastline with crystal blue water and black sand, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Playa de Mocan coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

1 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Playa La Veta, which has a rating of 6.8.

Playa de Mocan (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the Tijarafe settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the La Palma and the correct question is not how to get to Playa de Mocan, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

A stunning sight, the beach is graced with fine black sand and backed by a tall and steep cliff, which creates an archway that appears to hover over the beach. The waters are crystal clear and a deep blue, making it a truly lucky spot to visit.

The beach is so remote that it's almost impossible to get there by car - GPS will take you to a parking lot in the depths of Candelaria. We couldn't find any other route to get there.
