Latest reviews on Lomo Oscuro's beaches

Playa de Santa Cruz
6 Emily Moore

The beach may be close to the port, but the strong currents and huge waves make it more suitable for paddling than swimming. The poor visibility doesn't make it ideal for snorkelling either. We did manage to spot one fish, but the real show was the crabs sunbathing on a rock. All in all, it's not the best beach for swimming or snorkelling.

Playa de Los Cancajos
8 Abraham

This classic Canarian beach has an incredible backdrop of mountains, Santa Cruz, and clouds, and it features a unique black sand and black rocks. Unfortunately, the manmade breakwater is an eyesore, but it's only a few steps away from H10 Tabu6and a few restaurants, making it a great beach to visit.

Playa de Bajamar
8 Hank Fidler

Conveniently located right off the main road and has plenty of space.

Playa del Rio
8 Maria Soledad Lopez Garcia

This spot is a place of nostalgia for me; I've been visiting since I was a child. It's easy to access, and I have fond memories of spending time there.

The beach was a miserable sight; we had a terrible time during our visit. The shore was unappealing and the atmosphere was far from enjoyable. All in all, it was a forgettable experience.
