Playa de Masca
6 Toby Jenkins

That place offers a stunning visual experience, especially when viewed from the water. It's a great spot for taking photos, and a must-see for anyone looking for a beautiful vista. Highly recommended.

Playa de Las Arenas
8 Jaden Par

A superb hidden gem, nestled against a majestic mountain backdrop. The waves are huge, so you'll need sure footing to navigate the rocky shoreline - but it's definitely worth it! Plus, it's easily accessible, making it an ideal spot for a day trip.

Charco del Viento
6 Yaroslava Petrenko

The sea can be an intimidating force, and one look at the shoreline will make that clear. Although a dip in the ocean may be tempting, the waves can be too dangerous to take a chance. However, the breathtaking views are worth the visit, as the power of the sea is undeniable.

Playa Del Eco
8 Mateusz M.

This beach near Casas de Araza is a great spot to relax and soak up some rays. Unfortunately, it's also a popular destination, so you'll be fighting for a decent spot. The sand is alright, and the view is alright too. All-in-all, it's an okay place to spend some time, but nothing to write home about.

Playa de Barranco Seco
8 Rajan

This Pebble (stone) beach is located close to Puerto de Los Gigantes, after Los Guíos beach. It is usually accessed by boat, kayak, or on foot via a path from El Molledo.

Puerto de San Marcos
6 Pietro Vincenzo

The beach was not great - it was merely okay. The sand was a bit too coarse and the water wasn't as clear as it could have been. All in all, it was alright, but nothing special.
