Playa de los Gigantes
8 Iris Radford

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.

Playa de Masca
6 Toby Jenkins

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.

Playa de Las Arenas
8 Aiden

Our favorite beach is a real gem! With its dramatic backdrop and huge waves, the main beach is perfect for thrill-seekers. There are also plenty of rock pools and formations nearby, making the water calmer and ideal for children or snorkeling. One thing to note is that if the tide is in, there won't be much of a beach, so it's best to check the tide charts if you're coming from the south. The drive from the south along the Masca Road is absolutely stunning, so it's worth the trip at least once. Don't forget to check out the lighthouse too - it's a must-see, just make sure you know the opening times!

Playa de la Arena
6 Krisztián Kovács

This black sand beach was quite fascinating. I visited in the off-season of December and encountered some very intense waves, making it unsafe to swim due to the abundance of rocks just beneath the surface.

Playa de Barranco Seco
8 Rajan

This Pebble (stone) beach is located close to Puerto de Los Gigantes, after Los Guíos beach. It is usually accessed by boat, kayak, or on foot via a path from El Molledo.

Playa Del Eco
8 Mateusz M.

This beach near Casas de Araza is a great spot to relax and soak up some rays. Unfortunately, it's also a popular destination, so you'll be fighting for a decent spot. The sand is alright, and the view is alright too. All-in-all, it's an okay place to spend some time, but nothing to write home about.
