User reviews
"That place is a great place to get away and relax. It's very clean and peaceful, with friendly people. The temperature is perfect - you can wear a t-shirt throughout the day. There's not much commercialism, and the beach and bars are lovely. Prices are also very reasonable. I've been returning for the third year in a row, and I'm hoping to do so again."
Johnathan Gurney
"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."
