Latest reviews on El Roque's beaches

Puerto de Tazacorte
10 Veronica Sullivan

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.

Playa La Veta
8 Hannah Schulze

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.

Playa de Mocan
8 Brett McAllister

A stunning sight, the beach is graced with fine black sand and backed by a tall and steep cliff, which creates an archway that appears to hover over the beach. The waters are crystal clear and a deep blue, making it a truly lucky spot to visit.
