About

Playa de Masca is located on the North Atlantic Ocean (part of Atlantic ocean) and it is in the 27th place out of 242 beaches in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife region 39.4 km away from its center, the city of Santa Ursula. It is one of the beaches of Masca settlement, just 2.8 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a small bay with crystal blue water and gray sand, 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, hikers etc. It is partially crowded during the high season.

Playa de Masca 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.

3 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Playa Del Eco, which has a rating of 5.8.

Playa de Masca (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the Masca 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 correct question is not how to get to Playa de Masca, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

This beach near Masca is an absolute paradise! The scenery is breathtaking and the atmosphere is truly magical. It's one of the most stunning places I've ever visited and I can't wait to go back.

This spot is an excellent place to unwind and take in the sights. The ocean is crystal clear, and the view of Los Gigantos is stunning. The temperature is perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying a peaceful day.

That place offers a stunning visual experience, especially when viewed from the water. It's a great spot for taking photos, and a must-see for anyone looking for a beautiful vista. Highly recommended.

This location is certainly not a resort. It's a pebbly beach at the end (or midpoint or start) of a long hike. There are no toilets, just a few vendors selling boat tickets and cold drinks. The pier is great for swimming, but there's not a lot of shade.

The view from Masca is breathtaking, but it's not something you'd want to experience more than once. The road to get there is a winding, treacherous journey through the mountains. If you're looking to reach the beach, you'll have to endure a grueling 8 km hike down from the village.
