Plaže na Buenavista del Norte

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.

The view from Masca is breathtaking, but it's not something you'd want to experience more than once. The road to get there is a winding, treacherous journey through the mountains. If you're looking to reach the beach, you'll have to endure a grueling 8 km hike down from the village.

This remote corner of the bay has a small black sand beach which is perfect for sunbathing at low tide. At high tide, however, the beach is replaced by rocky outcrops. On the plus side, there is excellent parking available and strong swimmers can take advantage of the good waves near low tide when the beach is visible on the west side of the bay.

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.

This beach near Casas de Araza has a spectacular view of the cliffs of the giants, and best of all, it has public free entry!

The beach was not great - it was merely okay. The sand was a bit too coarse and the water wasn't as clear as it could have been. All in all, it was alright, but nothing special.
