El Paso - all beaches

This beach is one of the rare protected ones where swimming is allowed. It can get quite crowded, but I enjoyed strolling along the shore and grabbing some fish food at one of the terraces. Additionally, there is a microclimate in the area, which means the temperature is consistently 3 degrees higher compared to a location 5 kilometers away.

We stumbled upon the most exceptional beach. It was impeccably organised and boasted a handful of fantastic dining options.

The beach may be close to the port, but the strong currents and huge waves make it more suitable for paddling than swimming. The poor visibility doesn't make it ideal for snorkelling either. We did manage to spot one fish, but the real show was the crabs sunbathing on a rock. All in all, it's not the best beach for swimming or snorkelling.

This is our go-to beach and definitely worth a visit! The powerful waves give you a true sense of the ocean's strength. It's a large, untamed space, but there are showers and a lifeguard on duty during the summer months. The sun shines almost all day until 6pm in the summer, but in the winter, the beach is shaded by 1pm. The water is warm due to the sun-heated rocks, making it absolutely perfect.

That place is a tranquil spot, but be warned - the 20 minute walk from the car park isn't for the faint-hearted. Driving in the dark is a no-no, and swimming can be a challenge depending on the wind and waves. Despite this, it's still a magical place worth visiting.

This classic Canarian beach has an incredible backdrop of mountains, Santa Cruz, and clouds, and it features a unique black sand and black rocks. Unfortunately, the manmade breakwater is an eyesore, but it's only a few steps away from H10 Tabu6and a few restaurants, making it a great beach to visit.
