That place is an excellent place to enjoy with the family, with easy access and great snorkeling around the breakwater wall.

This location is the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Its stone surface makes it easy to keep sand out of your belongings, and there's a lifeguard on duty year-round for added safety. Plus, it's easily accessible and there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.

After visiting the majestic cathedral of Candelaria, we ventured a few kilometers to this tranquil beach, equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds for a few euros (excellent!). With a long walk full of restaurants, this beach provided a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of city life like me! What's more, the sand was a beautiful grey color and dotted with pebbles, making it a truly picturesque spot.

This small beach is a hidden gem in Tenerife - it's the only spot on the whole island that has managed to escape the thick cloud cover that has blanketed the area for days. The sun is shining brightly here, and the beach is characterized by its soft gray sand and pebbles, so be sure to bring your flip flops! It's wonderfully quiet, with plenty of great shops and restaurants nearby. Plus, you can get a parasol and two sunbeds for just €7.50 - an absolute bargain!

An unpleasant place to be. The amount of cigarette butts is appalling, and the people there (not all of them) are quite rude. It's not a great place to spend your time.
