Plaže na Arafo

It's a shame that the beach is closed. We could see it from a distance and it looked beautiful. If it was open, it would have been a great experience to spend some time there. However, getting to the beach is no small task - it's a long walk from Puerto de la Cruz and the roads to get there are quite narrow. So, you may want to think twice before making the trip.

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

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.

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.

That place is an ideal spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the south, and it's conveniently located near Puerto de La Cruz. It used to be a small fishing village, and now it boasts a beautiful beach with a scenic promenade. Plus, it's easily accessible and temperatures are cooler than the south of the island.

It is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With plenty of sunbeds and pools, it's an ideal spot to soak up the sun and take a dip in the saltwater. Though it can get quite crowded, it's still worth the €5.50 entry fee. You can also rent umbrellas for a small fee, which is great if you don't find a spot in the shade. There are a few restaurants and kiosks offering snacks and drinks, so you don't need to bring your own food. Toilets are also available free of charge. The only downside is that the water runs out at the end of the day, so you can't flush or wash your hands. We've been here a few times and would definitely come back!
