Beach overall scores
Playa de Maschalani (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the Los Canarios 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.
User reviews
"The beach is spacious and incredibly stunning, with volcanic rock formations and striking black sand. Adjacent to the beach are two enchanting ponds known as el aljibe, where you can enjoy a tranquil and soothing swim. Additionally, there is a charming little cove near the lighthouse. All in all, this place comes highly recommended."
