Latest reviews on Yaiza's beaches

Playa de la Cera
6 Alexis Fitch

The beaches in this national park can be a bit tricky to get to, and you'll need to pay the 3 euro entrance fee to get in. But if you're looking for a beach, it's worth the effort. The ones closest to the car parks are usually the busiest, and you may even see some nudity. There's a bar with friendly staff nearby, but it may not be worth the effort. All in all, it's an unappealing experience.

Playa Chica Beach
8 Kane van der Kolk

That place is the perfect spot for a dip! The crystal clear water and crashing waves make for an idyllic swimming experience. You can rent a mask and snorkel or even take a diving lesson. There's plenty of fish to see, so it's great for snorkelers. You'll hear the sound of the diving compressor, but that's part of the charm. There are free showers, free parking and good vibes, so it's the perfect spot for a day at the beach.

La Penita
8 Lyle Wittering

This place is a great place to stay. The apartments are fabulous and the location is peaceful and quiet. The pool is very nice and the staff at reception are friendly and helpful. Additionally, the beach is easily accessible, making it a great choice for a vacation.

Playa de Guasimeta
8 Santiago

This is the perfect spot for those who want to take in the sights of aircrafts taking off and landing! Plus, there's a designated area for furry friends to frolic in the sand. It's an unofficial nudist beach, so you can enjoy the sun and sea without any clothes.

Playa Honda
6 Clyde Miller

Playa Honda has a variety of beaches to choose from, ensuring you'll find something that suits your needs. During the summer months, the main beach is patrolled by lifeguards, and there are plenty of bars and restaurants along the Avenida. Unfortunately, cycling is no longer allowed for adults.

Playa de Montana Roja

This location was okay, but nothing special. It was late at night when I stopped by, and all that was there was access to the ocean and a bar, nothing else.
