Mirca - all beaches

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.

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.

Conveniently located right off the main road and has plenty of space.

This spot has a black sand shoreline, which makes it easier to access the water close to the breakwater. However, near the port, the stones become quite hazardous when the waves come in, making it less than ideal for swimming.

This secluded beach is the perfect spot for a quick dip and a picnic. Recently upgraded with a shower and steps for easy access, it's a great spot for those looking for a peaceful and private getaway. Unfortunately, the picnic area is quite small and there are no tables or chairs available. It also isn't suitable for those with reduced mobility, and there are only three parking spaces in the area. The road leading to the beach is quite narrow, so it's best to take a car carefully.
