I had a great time at the beach - the views were stunning. But, it was nothing too spectacular.

That place is a great spot to take it easy and soak up the sun. The stunning scenery is accessible by a path, but be aware of the strong currents in the area.

This unknown beach, located between the nuclei of Arafo and Candelaria, near the Güímar industrial estate, is a hidden gem with great value. Its trails and ravines, as well as its vegetation and ecosystem still affected by human activity, make it a must-see. What's more, the beach is secluded, making it the perfect spot for a tranquil getaway.

This secluded beach near Güímar industrial estate is a charming and isolated spot, nestled between Puertito de Güímar and Candelaria. It's a hidden gem, with its gray sand and pebbles adding to its allure.

Playa de Samarines is really nice! The sand is a beautiful shade of gray, and there are plenty of pebbles scattered around. It's really a great spot to relax and enjoy the ocean.
