Beach overall scores
Playa de Antequera (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.

Accessible only by boat or a 3-hour hike from Chamorga or Igueste, it might be a good place to disconnect, but the fluffy black sand is now littered with petrol bases and other debris. The ocean can be calm, but it's not worth swimming in the polluted water. You also need to be prepared and bring your own food and drinks, as there is nothing aro..."
