Information

Punta del Fraile Beach is an authentic location known for its crystal-clear waters and unique volcanic rock formations. While the beach primarily consists of black stones and pebbles, it offers stunning views and a tranquil environment perfect for relaxation, picnicking, or enjoying a beautiful sunset.

Visitors appreciate the natural pools that form with the tide, but note that swimming can be challenging due to the rocky surroundings and strong waves. The beach does not offer many amenities, which contributes to its wild charm, but this also means there are no lifeguards, showers, or restaurants nearby.

Despite its challenges, many agree that the beach is worth a visit for those seeking a quiet escape and breathtaking scenery.

Fantastic experience: Un très bel endroit. Un petit parking est disponible à proximité. La plage est en gros galets mais très jolie. La baignade est un peu sportive, voir dangereuse compte tenu des rochers présents. Un petit bassin naturel est présent un peu plus loin sur le chemin qui mène à "Charco de Las Mujeres". Le chemin est facile à prendre et débouche sur un autre parking. La route pour y accéder est un peu longue en provenance du sud de l'île.

Positive experience: El sitio es muy bonito, hay dos aparcamientos extensos a ambos lados de la playa. En el primer aparcamiento hay un reservado para caravanas y hay una playa de arena negra, que se forma cuando baja la marea y varios charcos donde bañarse, hay paseos de piedra hasta los charcos. El segundo aparcamiento es el que está pegado a la playa grande , hay un paseo que comunica las dos partes ,lo único malo es que no tiene baños y el olor a orina empaña la tranquilidad y lo bonito del paseo.

Fantastic experience: Es una playa de callaos, de piedras, peligrosa. Alguna vez he visto arena en un extremo de la playa. El lugar es muy bonito, es agradable ver las olas rompiendo, el mar fuerte y el paisaje que lo rodea. Hay charcos cerca, grandes, habilitados para el baño. Existe un amplio aparcamiento, y un paseo con bancos que invitan a pasear y recorrer la zona. No suele estar transitado, salvo por las personas que aparcan con auto caravanas. El atardecer es muy bonito desde este lugar.

Fantastic experience: Playa volcánica espectacular, tiene un parking con plazas limitadas, para llegar, pasaras por un montón de plantaciones de plátanos. Hay alguna piscina natural. Sin servicios de ducha ni chiringuitos pero el pasaje i los acantilados son espectaculares

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place to watch the see and meditate. Do not expect soft sand, though, just a lot of black rocks .

Positive experience: Preciosa playa salvaje de callao,con un paseo empedrado para dar una vuelta por este aislado paraje rodeado de plantaciones plátano recorridas por estrecjas carreyerillas. No hay ducha ni salvamento, ni tan siquiera un salvavidas a la vista, por lo que seguro sea de esas playas en las que todos los años se ahoga algún incauto visitante

Positive experience: It's a really beautiful beach, but not so much for snorkeling because the see is too wild.

FIRE WOOD CRAFT 6 years ago

Positive experience: Toller Strand . Naja, eher Felsenebene ins Wasser Sehr klares Wasser - gut zu erreichen- aber nur mit dem Auto. Das Wasser ist sehr klar. Ins Wasser kommt man ohne Blessuren bei etwas stärkeren Wellen nur, wenn man sich von einer größeren Welle nach draußen tragen lässt. Das gleiche gilt für das rauskommen- auf einer großen Welle nach oben spülen lassen und an Steinen fest halten. Wenig Leute. Zu Empfehlen. Mit kids eher schwierig - aus meiner Sicht.

Fantastic experience: Se llega bien en coche por calles de un solo sentido y hay aparcamiento. No es muy cómoda para tumbarse a tomar el sol, es bastante rocosa. Si no hubiera olas tiene muy buena pinta para hacer snorkel. Tiene vistas bonitas.

Negative experience: Currently, construction is taking place at the beach, so a visit is not worthwhile as the view is blocked by excavators.
