Windy beach
Nov 2023 • Solo
Windy beach but with the windbreaker turns very pleasant. Naked and dressed people. Some families. Generally the sea is calm. But with the yellow or red flag you need to be careful.

Sunny day out
Mar 2023 • Couples
Watch out for the sunbed and umbrella hire. The sign shown 2 x sunbeds and 1 x umbrella for what seems like 5 euro. Its actually 5 euro per item. Otherwise a great spot with lots of parking but bring food and drink.

Good beach! Absolutely not in windy weather!
Feb 2023 • Family
+ long and large sandy beach mostly not many people no bars, restaurants and no music disturbing the silence almost like a wild beach
- in windy weather, the sand hits your feet hard nudists do not rest in the nudist area, but walk around in the non-nudist area

Great beach
Jan 2023 • Solo
Went here Jan 2023. The sun beds there to the left as you look out to see , had gone. There was a life guard presence which is good. The main naturist area is to the far left out of sight , though there are some other places on the main beach that appear clothes optional. A relaxing place

Lovely beach if you don't mind the nudes !
Oct 2022
Another lovely beach in the South of Tenerife and if you don't mind a nude body here and there then a must visit. The sea can be quite rough so caution if a must when swimming but we did notice this year that there are no life guards along the coast so that's a plus. Typically used by the Canarians as its what I would call a rural beach, so not touristy at all which is good if you just want to relax. It can be windy down this part of the island so ensure its a nice calm day and take your own brolly as this is not catered for here.

My favourite
Aug 2022
Definetely my favourite in Tenerife. Maybe not super comfortable, still impossible to be missed. Wonderful sight, amazing and clear waters and a pure sense of freedom!

Beautiful relaxing beach
Jun 2022 • Couples
The beach was only a short walk from the parking area. We came here twice, one in the evening and once in the late morning.

We went around 5pm and it was still quite warm. There are some sections on the beach where people have built private sections out of stones so that you could sunbathe "freely" with a little privacy. In general the vibe was quite nice people kept them selves to themselves. On the evening there were 3 strange men who kept individually darting between the private Stone sections peering in. They stopped coming over after I sat spread Eagled staring at them. Turned out they knew each other, 2 hid behind some stones spying on another couple. Whilst the other exposed himself to every woman on the beach one at a time. The second visit was much better, there was no perverts around and we had our own space even though it was busier. I would recommend if you aren't put off by strange men, it's nice to have somewhere to be "free"

SO WINDY!!!!! Awful
May 2022 • Couples
This is the worst beach I have ever been to in my life. It was so windy!!!! The sand was blowing so hard at my legs it felt like little bullets were hitting me.
We travelled from Costa Adeje to this beach to try out something new and ended up driving all the way back to go to better beaches on the west.
There were Little Rock forts dotted about this massive windy beach to hide in, but once you stood up from behind the rock fort you couldn’t open your eyes or mouth in case sand blew in.
Also, it’s in the middle of nowhere and weirdo men walking about.

Excellent sandy beach
Mar 2022
Walked the length of the beach. Plenty of parking in the carpark and on the roadside but be careful on exiting as there is a large dip in the carpark just before the exit as you turn. Clothes optional on the sunbeds to the left of the beach and also over the small hill on the next beach about a 50/50 mix. Beach clean. The sunbeds are 10 euro for the day 2 beds and an umbrella. Same charge no matter what time you arrive. Mojito man sells a variety of drinks ... a real character. Can get windy and sandblasted. Good beach highly recommended.
