Path down is steep but manageable. Worth bringing a snorkel, variety of fish in both pools as well as a couple of sea snails. Water isn't as accessible as other pools on the island but definitely worth it.

The blue puddle, rather. Not worthy the time to get there: pretty small for swimming, extremely rocky: more a crab than a mermaid experience. Four people would make it a crowd there. The sea is often very rough. Nearby there is La maceta, much much better!

Helen Ram

4 Frustrating

Overrated. Quite dirty and full of crabs. The way up it’s exhausting. Not worth the hassle

8 Very good

Interesting rock formations but you will have to negotiate a fair few flights of steps to get there, so it won't be for everyone. If you want to swim, make sure that the tide is high enough and I suppose it's prettier too. There are no pools when the tide is low but you can walk around a bit.

10 Exceptional

Beautiful, natural location. Essential visit if on the island. Be aware that access to this site involves walking down several hundred steps & scrambling over boulders to access the pools. No issues for most but to bear in mind if elderly or disabled.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Natural Pool Charco Azul (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Natural Pool Charco Azul (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Natural Pool Charco Azul for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
