Latest reviews on La Cuesta's beaches

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 Emily KwokHua許國華

This remote corner of the bay has a small black sand beach which is perfect for sunbathing at low tide. At high tide, however, the beach is replaced by rocky outcrops. On the plus side, there is excellent parking available and strong swimmers can take advantage of the good waves near low tide when the beach is visible on the west side of the bay.

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.

Playa Del Eco
8 Kai Jensson

This beach is truly stunning - the scenery is simply breathtaking!

Puerto de San Marcos
6 Annamarie Lawrence

This location is not worth the visit - there's nothing to do or see. I can only give it one star, as that's the minimum, and it's not easily accessible either.

Playa de la Caleta
6 Kristofer-Konstantin Laak

A steep and rocky area, not ideal for lounging or relaxing. There is some nice flora and a pleasant walking area, but the waves are too rough to be enjoyable.
