About

Playa de Ricasa is located on the North Atlantic Ocean (part of Atlantic ocean) and it is in the 189th place out of 242 beaches in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife region 42.6 km away from its center, the city of Santa Ursula. It is one of the beaches of Pasos Largos settlement, just 2.9 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place.

It is a tiny bay with blue water and gray sand & pebble cover, 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 etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Playa de Ricasa 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.

To get to the beach, you need to take a short promenade. Parking is located at some distance, within 300 meters.

10 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Playa Abama, which has a rating of 8.6.

Playa de Ricasa (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the Pasos Largos 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 Tenerife and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa de Ricasa with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

Sarina

8 Very good

This beach is located at the end of the Abama straight and in the Erques ravine. Unfortunately, access has been restricted due to construction in the area. It is a small cove with "callaos" (rounded stones) and is a bit of a mess, with little depth and murky water. Swimming is not recommended due to the threat of tidal waves. There are no lifeguards or safety personnel present. This is one of the few coves left, untouched by man-made constructions. (Sadly, once the hotel they have in mind is built, this cove will be replaced with yellow sand brought in from elsewhere, like Abama).

The beach was hard to get to and not worth the effort since it was beneath a big banana tree. On the day we visited, the water had a cloudy, white appearance which seemed odd to me. I'm not sure if it's safe to swim in, it could be contaminated.

If you park your car near the banana trees, it's only a 10 minute walk away. very peaceful and secluded, but the tides can make it difficult to go swimming.

This location is a great spot to unwind and soak up the sun. It's a beautiful location and not too busy, making it the perfect spot to relax.

This stunning beach is situated in a spectacular Barranco. Its pebbled coast is a delight to experience, and it's easy to imagine this spot was once a cultivated location.
