Beach overall scores
Cala Martin Luis (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the San Juan de Puntallana settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the La Palma, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"This little cala is a dream spot for a night away. With a few BBQ spots, running water, and easy access to the water, it's the perfect spot for a small camper van. Plus, the parking is so small that only five cars can fit, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful night away."
