"We visited a beautiful untamed beach that offered breathtaking views of the towering cliff face above Famara. There were a couple of stone circles that provided shelter from the wind, although there was no wind on the day we went."

"The beach doesn't look as stunning as it does in the photos. It's quite difficult to access the water, and the coastline is covered in sea grass."
