User reviews
"This spot is a great to take a dip - depending on the tide, of course! It's got all the amenities you need for a day at the beach - BBQ area, seating, tables, toilets, and even a shower. Plus, there's a bus stop right there to take you back to the city when you're done."

"We didn't enjoy our stay at El Hierro. We stayed at an airbnb organic farm, but the eggs were not as fresh as we expected. The farm was too far away from the natural swimming pool. We drove around the island, but it wasn't as beautiful as we thought."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Natural Pool La Maceta (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Natural Pool La Maceta (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Natural Pool La Maceta for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
