I am totally smitten with this beach! It's just a short walk away from the windmills, and the road for cars turns into a private area after only 15-20 minutes. It's really a place to experience and cherish!

Playa Escondida is a stunning sight to behold. It's best to get there on foot, but be warned, the road leading there is full of deep potholes.

It's a real disgrace that people can camp on the beach, even though it's a Protected Natural Space. The Granadilla City Council should be doing more to prevent it, but unfortunately, the Cabildo is also doing nothing to help protect the area. When you arrive, you'll find the sand littered with discarded items like diapers, plastic, paper, and charcoal from barbecues and bonfires. It's a sad reflection of the political class we have that people can get away with this.

The downside is that Granadilla port is separated from the rest; despite its beauty, it is still clean and its temperature is pleasant.

An amazing place to truly disconnect and relax. It lives up to its name as a hidden paradise. Whether you're looking to camp, dive, or just enjoy the sun, this beach is the perfect spot to spend the weekend. It's an incredible experience that you won't soon forget!
