Beach overall scores
Playa Barranco del Roque (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the Pasos Largos 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 secluded little cove is made up of pebbles and rocks and can be accessed by a sometimes difficult walk from San Juan beach. However, the best part is that it is free to enter for the public! Although swimming is not recommended due to strong currents, this spot is still worth a visit."
Iris Emilia
"I absolutely adored the beach - the serenity and its allure were especially captivating. Plus, the best part is that it has public free entry, making it even more inviting!"

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Playa Barranco del Roque (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 Playa Barranco del Roque (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 Playa Barranco del Roque 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.
