Beach overall scores
Playa Del Eco (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the Casas de Araza 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 and the correct question is not how to get to Playa Del Eco, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This beach near Casas de Araza is a great spot to relax and soak up some rays. Unfortunately, it's also a popular destination, so you'll be fighting for a decent spot. The sand is alright, and the view is alright too. All-in-all, it's an okay place to spend some time, but nothing to write home about."
Mateusz M.
"That place is a must-visit! Take a boat ride and witness the incredible dolphins and pilot whales, then take a dip in the sea from the cliffs. An amazing experience that you'll never forget!"

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Playa Del Eco (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 Del Eco (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 Del Eco 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.
