The beach stretches on the coast of the Tenerife 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.

User reviews
"The kids absolutely adored this beach - there were natural kiddy pools, sheltered from the ocean by large rocks, and the views from the beach were truly spectacular. The only downside is that it can get quite busy and parking can be a bit of a challenge. However, with easy access, it's a great place to visit with the family."
Anton Kuznetsov
"This remote corner of the bay has a small black sand beach which is perfect for sunbathing at low tide. At high tide, however, the beach is replaced by rocky outcrops. On the plus side, there is excellent parking available and strong swimmers can take advantage of the good waves near low tide when the beach is visible on the west side of the bay."
