This beach is a hidden gem; its seclusion lends to its beauty. The warm, volcanic sand and crystal clear waters make it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.

This secluded beach is a little hard to get to, but it's well worth the effort. It's one of my favorite beaches in Tenerife, and I highly recommend it. It's quiet and peaceful, and there are no public services, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful escape.

A hidden gem, not many people know about it. It has a beautiful black sand shoreline.
