Playa de los Gigantes is the perfect spot to unwind. With the stunning Los Gigantes cliffs in the background, it's a sight to behold. We were there in December and the waves were quite large, though no one was swimming. There were a few people walking in the sea, but there was a lifeguard on duty. It's a great place to get a closer look at the cliffs. There's also an ice cream stand close by and you can rent a kayak to admire the cliffs from the water.

Be prepared to be in awe of the breathtaking sights at Los Gigantes. A black sand beach with a stunning backdrop will leave you speechless. If you're looking to get some sun, best to come after 12pm, as the high mountain range will cast a large shadow.

This place is a must-see destination. The black sand and crystal-clear blue waters will take your breath away. The cliffs of Los Gigantes provide a stunning backdrop for the beach. It's also the perfect spot for boat rides, where you can spot dolphins and other small cetaceans in the protected area.

That place has a stunning view and the sand is dark and warm. You'll need aquashoes if you want to swim in the sea as there are plenty of rocks. There is a parking lot nearby, but you'll need to pay either 1 euro per hour or a maximum of 8 euros per day. You can also find a variety of small stores and restaurants close by.

The breathtaking cliffs make for a stunning backdrop. The quaint village is full of shops and cafes, though the only way to get close to the cliffs is to take a boat ride.
