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.

User reviews
"That place is situated in a secluded area, almost untouched. It stretches for over 200 meters and is covered in local black sand, only visible at low tide."
Anaëlle
"This beach is one of the best on the island and its nearby areas, with plenty of palm trees and walking trails. During the dry season, there are two waterfalls, although they don't have much water."
