User reviews
"This place is an adventure! A warning sign reads 'dangerous beach with big currents', and they are not exaggerating - the waves here are the biggest on the island. But the shallower parts of the beach offer a great opportunity to play with the waves - a fun and thrilling experience!"
Sofia Mueller
"Perfect beach for those who love to surf and play in the waves. Although it's a bit off the beaten path, the trip to Anaga is worth it. Take caution when in the water, as the currents can be strong and take you away from the shore. Fortunately, lifeguards are usually on site to help keep everyone safe. Moreover, this beach offers one of the best sunset views on the island."
