Fantastic experience: Difficult to swim, access to the water is complicated.
Fantastic experience: Beach with good waves for surfers. Good views. Area of shops and parking nearby.
Positive experience: Kleiner Strand mitten in der Stadt, Paradies für Surfer Schwimmen war bei uns gar nicht möglich...eine Woche war die rote Fahne gehisst.. sehr aufmerksamer Strandwärter, der jeden wieder rauspfiff, der sich doch weiter ins Wasser wagte Keine Liegen und Sonnenschirme vorhanden, wir haben uns einen Schirm in der nahegelegenen Innenstadt gekauft Man kann den ganzen Tag die Surfer beobachten, und zuweilen die Landungen der Paraglider, die direkt auf der Promenade oder Strand runterkommen Wir hatten den Eindruck, dass sehr viele Einheimische den Strand besuchen Es war nie sehr voll - also durchweg zu empfehlen, wenn man einfach nur etwas schauen will Mit Kindern nicht zu empfehlen
Positive experience: conozco la playa desde que era muy pequeña, me da un poco de pena ver lo abandonada que la tienen, sí, esta limpia, y tiene acceso para personas con movilidad reducida pero sólo para la arena, con todas las piedras que hay.. pocos podemos acceder al agua, ayer mismo estuve en la playa.. una recomendación para la ciudad del puerto de la Cruz, hacer unos diques de acceso al agua.. por lo demás, tiene una cafetería cerca, la escuela de surf, faltan baños públicos y está al lado de varios hoteles y el lago Martíanez
Negative experience: Nur zum Sonnen und für Surfanfänger geeignet. Nix los und das Restaurant ist geschlossen. Wäre im Übrigen auch ganz schön abgehoben mit der Preisvorstellung. Weit und breit keine Parkmöglichkeiten.

Positive experience: Una playa rocosa típica de las costas norte de la isla, con pequeños espacios de arena negra volcánica, dependiendo de la época del año. Tiene un rompeola que juega favor de los chic@s practicantes del Suf y se encuentra una pequeña escuela de Sur. Cuando el mar está tranquilo se puede nadar también. Y la boca de la playa es punto de aterrizaje de los practicantes de Parapentes. También dispone de un restaurante con menú del día, comida canaria !
Fantastic experience: Playa de arena volcánica

Positive experience: Rather many stones than sand. Not really suitable for bathing. But definitely a nice place to watch the waves.
Negative experience: Nice beach but impossible to swim. Only rocks and stones. Small strip of black sand in the city center. Personally, I left right away.
Fantastic experience: Stunning sight of how the ocean acts up from time to time. The black sand and the big lava rocks are really unique to see. You definitely can't swim there but it's a really beautiful spot for surfing. It was wonderful to sit there to relax and enjoy, and to take in a magnificent view.
Negative experience: Broken sidewalks, missing tiles, beach full of stones, fountain not working. Damaged gardens.
Positive experience: Black sand and stones. Adaptation.

Positive experience: This beach is full of rocks, not really comfortable to stay, and not so much privacy as it is too close to the paseo marítimo. You can enjoy watching the beginners surfers as there is a surf school right in the beach and the attentive lifeguard that watches carefully to the surfers.
Fantastic experience: Bella spiaggia libera con bagnino e con onde per chi fa surf.... la sabbia nera non si attacca... ogni tanto atterra qualche parapendio...
