Beach overall scores
Playa de Samarines (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the La Viuda 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 Tenerife, 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 unknown beach, located between the nuclei of Arafo and Candelaria, near the Güímar industrial estate, is a hidden gem with great value. Its trails and ravines, as well as its vegetation and ecosystem still affected by human activity, make it a must-see. What's more, the beach is secluded, making it the perfect spot for a tranquil getaway."

"I had a great time at the beach - the views were stunning. But, it was nothing too spectacular."
