Negative experience: The beach is beautiful, typical of the island of Tenerife with volcanic black sand. The problem is accessibility. The road is very narrow and the cars and caravans camping on the sides block the traffic, and their occupants walk along the road as if they were in a shopping center, doing as they please without respecting the rules and putting their own lives at risk. Another problem is that there is only one toilet installed which is exclusively for the use of the Red Cross staff, so evacuations of all kinds take place anywhere, with the unbearable odors they generate and the risk of possible infections. Also, a lot of garbage is thrown on the beach and the surrounding landscape, it is a real shame the attitude of those who call themselves 'nature lovers'.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach with easy access. Ideal for the whole family, and just 1 minute by car there are two places to eat. The downside is the parking, which is right on the road. Although you can park on the slope against the wall, the police don’t mind. Weekdays are much better for visiting.
Fantastic experience: Czarny delikatny piasek im bliżej morza tym bardziej zmienia swą barwę mieszając się z jaśniejszym. Ratownicy w ciągu dnia obserwowali cały czas teren gdyż fale były spore. Dla mojego syna, który uwielbia piasek nie ważne jakiego koloru i fale takie by móc przez nie skakać miejsce to było idealne. Mało było ludzi, plaża czysta. Darmowe miejsca parkingowe chodź nie ma ich dużo.
Fantastic experience: Pequeña, de fácil acceso,con socorristas,con ducha. Con su arena negra brillante,le mar azulón y unas olas estupendas. Bañarse con cuidado porque las olas son fuertes. Es preciosa, justo la que buscaba. Pueden ir perros.
Fantastic experience: Bellisima, de seguro volveré, playa hermosa de arenas negras, difícil acceso pero bien merecido el esfuerzo, playa de oleaje fuerte, para surfers y nadadores.

Fantastic experience: Muy bonita, aunque está algo retirada, vale la pena visitarla. La playa de Almáciga está situada bajo el caserío que le da nombre en el distrito de Anaga de Santa Cruz de Tenerife.De arena fina y de color oscuro de origen volcánico, la playa de Almáciga se caracteriza por su fuerte oleaje, lo que la hace atractiva para la práctica del surf.
Fantastic experience: Playa impresionante de arena volcánica fina. Poco concurrida...porque hasta llegar allí hay un sin fin de curvas y cuestas pero merece mucho la pena
Fantastic experience: De las mejores playas del norte de tenerife. Entre Roque de las Bodegas y Benijo. Buen acceso, duchas e incluso un pequeño chiringuito que abre en verano. Se permite el acceso a perros en la playa. Perfecta para el surf o body. Arena negra muy fina. Eso sí, tiene corrientes muy fuertes que a más de uno le han dado un susto. Mucho ojo al bañarse o meterse dentro porque puede ser muy peligroso según esté el mar. No dispone de servicio de socorrista.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful black lava sand beach. We were here in the afternoon after already doing a hike. We could relax nicely here and go into the water. You can surf well here; there were definitely many people.
Fantastic experience: We didn’t get a chance to visit Benijo because it was closed but this one was breathtaking! Soft black sand, some waves for fun and awesome view. Can’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: A wild beach, one of the untamed and natural ones on the island with a charm of authentic black sand and salt.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Tenerife along with Benijo. Very beautiful, half surfers half bathers, fine black sand and calm.

Positive experience: Good beach for surfers and walking the dog, the good thing is that there is a very good restaurant nearby. To get there, there is a well-paved road but with lots of curves.

Fantastic experience: sitio privilegiado playa con encanto con servicio de Cruz Roja y un chiringuito para tomar y comer algo
Fantastic experience: Un playón increíble cuando la marea está baja. De arena negra, preciosa. Uno de los mejores atardeceres de la isla. No hay prácticamente servicios, tipo duchas, chiringuitos y por eso conserva su encanto de espacio natural. Se llega fácil en coche, pero la bajada puede ser un poco complicada para mayores y niños. A veces hay perros sueltos. El baño es un poco peligroso, porque el mar es bravo en esa zona.
Fantastic experience: Ein schöner Ort zum Baden Surfen oder einfach nur rumliegen. Durch die Abgeschiedenheit verhältnismäßig ruhig. Gute Restaurants in der Nähe; -perfekt.
