Latest reviews on Arafo's beaches

Bollullo Beach
8 Kaiya Wouters

Playa del Bollullo is lovely and not too crowded. The sea is quite wild, so there is a red flag warning. I'd suggest parking your car on the main road, about a 5 minute drive away from the beach. The last stretch of the road is a one-way for two-way traffic, which can be a bit intimidating. If you do decide to drive all the way, there is a restaurant at the beach where you can park for 3 euros. The food there is really good, so I'd definitely recommend it!

Playa de Radazul

This beach near Tabaiba Baja is an ideal spot for snorkeling.

Playa de la Nea
8 Danielle Vivian

This tranquil beach is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With limited people around, it's the perfect spot for a laid-back day. The parking lot is ample, however, the only downside is that there are no public restrooms. Sadly, the small bar that used to be around has shut down.

Playa Los Patos

Reaching this beach is quite the adventure! Although it can be a bit tricky to get to, Google Maps will direct you to the north end, but there is a bit of a hike to the parking lot. However, if you're up for a challenge, you can take the path that goes down right up from the beach. It's a steep and rocky descent, but totally doable. Once you make it down, you'll be rewarded with a stunning view. The black sand is so beautiful and there's hardly anyone around - it's like your own private paradise. The 30-minute trek is worth it for this incredible beach experience.

Playa del Cabezo

Great!

Playa de Martianez

This beach is an ideal spot to spend some time in the sun. The grounds are expansive, and the pool is quite large. The water may be a bit chilly, but you'll get used to it. Don't forget to bring an umbrella, as there are few places to escape the sun's rays. There are also plenty of activities for young children.
