Playa del Medio (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the San Juanito 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 Gomera and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa del Medio with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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

"This secluded beach is like a little corner of paradise, with the sun shining down and not a care in the world. The added bonus is that there is no mobile coverage, allowing you to truly get away from it all. The sand is a beautiful golden hue and the shoreline is lined with gray fine pebbles, making for a perfect day of relaxation."

Haley Foote

"The last part of the route is a single track road with few, if any, opportunities to pass. The parking is limited, so you'd better arrive early. made up of stones and black sand, so if you're looking for a soft, sandy surface this isn't the place for you. The pebbles in the shallows can be a bit of a nuisance, as they will wash over your feet and potentially cause cuts. Ther..."
