Beach overall scores
Playa Fabian (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is located outside the Mazape 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
"Playa Fabian is simply amazing! The sand is like velvet and is a mix of black and gray, with pebbles mixed in. The waves are huge and make for a great experience, but swimming isn't recommended. However, you can dive into the waves with no fear! This beach has brought me a lot of joy and positive emotions!"
Tatiana Svetlana
"This place is a romantic, particular and strange place with a lot of suggestiveness. It's best to go in the morning to take advantage of the full beach before the tide rises in the afternoon. There are few services, but there are three good quality and cheap restaurants. Best of all, entry to the beach is free and open to the public. I highly recommend it!"
