Positive experience: A very good beach, but there is no parking, that is a big problem.
Positive experience: Quiet with easy parking spot, lacking infrastructure ('showers', 'toilets', 'changing rooms').
Positive experience: The beach is nice but the access is horrible, a very steep road and there are no beach bars or anything. A bit neglected.
Fantastic experience: One of our favorite beaches on the island. Unfortunately, the parking situation has become catastrophic.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. However, there are relatively few parking spaces, which means the beach is not crowded. Lifeguards are present and there is a kiosk with drinks at affordable prices. The fine sand is black and gets nice and warm; water shoes could be a good option.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful volcanic sand beach
Fantastic experience: Acceso para sillas de rueda, prohibido perros, no hay duchas. Playa de arena. Suele haber viento después del mediodía, recomiendo carpa o sombrilla.
Fantastic experience: Deberían de controlar la entrada de perros ya que esta prohibido y hay gente que los lleva
Fantastic experience: Playa de aguas tranquilas y limpias, arena volcánica natural y cerca de Tenerife, tiene un kiosco dónde puedes tomar café, refrescos, cócteles, bocadillos, helados, está a 5 minutos caminando del puerto donde hay restaurantes. Tiene una zona de aparcamiento controlado pero suele estar lleno.
Positive experience: Lo mejor de esta playa es su cercanía a Santa Cruz y que tiene un equipo de vigilantes de la Cruz Roja.. Lo peor es que en temporada alta cualquier día y todos los fines de semana aparcar suele ser una odisea. También se hecha en falta baños en condiciones y un Bar o Chiringuito donde comprar comida o bebida fresca.

Fantastic experience: A very quiet and beautiful black sand beach in the north of the island. Very family-friendly and with few tourists.
Fantastic experience: Very quiet, spacious, and with black sand
Positive experience: Beautiful sandy beach that is very well laid out and very calm. Unfortunately, the showers do not work.

Fantastic experience: Nice beach with a bit thick black sand, it's great because it doesn't stick and you go home without sand. A calm environment to relax and on Tuesday with waves that are not very big, making it fun and safe.

Positive experience: The beach is nice but the access is horrible, a very steep road and there are no beach bars or anything. A bit neglected.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach near La Laguna and Santa Cruz. There is a very nice beach bar.
Positive experience: A nice beach... there's also a small beach bar... the worst thing is that there are few parking spots.
Fantastic experience: Even if you have to leave the car a bit up, it's worth it to be able to go down to the beach. A pebble beach in the area, clean, lifeguards, with access for wheelchair users to the beach. A beach bar right by the beach that practically has everything... I will be back!!!
Fantastic experience: Accessible location, easy parking depends on the days or if accessed through the port area or Nea itself. There is a beach bar, but water in the showers in 'winter' times is NO.

Fantastic experience: Top, schwarzer Sand, nicht zu überlaufen, mit lifeguard. Wunderschön!
Positive experience: Playa de arena negra gruesa (piedra molida) con dos accesos diferentes, uno por bajada a Radazul y otro por la de Boca Cangrejo. Dispone de rampas para entrar en la playa y pasarela de madera para adentrarse en la arena. Las duchas continúan cerradas (covid). Al estar bastante expuestas a mar abierta (salvo el margen izquierdo que tiene un minirompeolas) es de difícil acceso cuando hay oleaje. El fondo está muy empinado en la orilla lo que provoca que el oleaje rompa muy cerca de ella. Está delimitada la zona de baño con un cordón de boyas, útil para los nadadores que sirve de guía y da seguridad. Con el mar tranquilo es buena playa, pero con nordeste moderado (nuestro omnipresente alisio)y olas, ya no es una playa para todo el mundo.
Positive experience: Agua limpia. Socorristas. Mejor llevar escarpines que la arena molesta un poco en los pies. De resto, muy recomendable.

Fantastic experience: It's quiet, with black sand, attracts all kinds of people, it's very nice!!! It has easy access by bus...
Positive experience: Access on a slope with many curves, scarce parking due to the overcrowding of Bocacangrejo, beach with calm and clean water, no bathrooms available.
Positive experience: Ideal for walking, although the adjacent facilities should be better maintained. The water has clean and murky parts, but there are no waves, making it ideal for children.
Positive experience: The beach is very nice. Little parking and there is no water in the showers.

Fantastic experience: Pequeña playa de arena negra muy acogedora, suele haber la gente justa. Cubre enseguida y suele haber un buen oleaje, muy divertida.
Fantastic experience: Spiaggina di piccola ghiaia nera lambita da un leggero venticello mai fastidioso,non ha zone in ombra,è servita da un piccolo baracchino con poca scelta per il pranzo e da molto parcheggio (2 euro per la giornata) Il mare è caratterizzato da onde molto divertendi per giocare in acqua o da cui farsi lambire sul bagnoasciuga

Positive experience: Beautiful sandy beach that is very well laid out and very calm. Unfortunately, the showers do not work.
Fantastic experience: Black like my thoughts
Fantastic experience: Pretty little atypical village, very colorful and very floral, several coves to swim in and a very beautiful beach nearby
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. However, there are relatively few parking spaces, which means the beach is not crowded. Lifeguards are present and there is a kiosk with drinks at affordable prices. The fine sand is black and gets nice and warm; water shoes could be a good option.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach but don't go on windy days, it's very unpleasant.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach with a bit thick black sand, it's great because it doesn't stick and you go home without sand. A calm environment to relax and on Tuesday with waves that are not very big, making it fun and safe.
Positive experience: There needs to be restrooms at this beach. Otherwise, it's a nice spot for 2 hours, no more.
Positive experience: It's a pity about the gusts of sand that hit you every now and then, but it's pretty and quiet.
Fantastic experience: It's quiet, with black sand, attracts all kinds of people, it's very nice!!! It has easy access by bus...
Positive experience: Access on a slope with many curves, scarce parking due to the overcrowding of Bocacangrejo, beach with calm and clean water, no bathrooms available.
Fantastic experience: The beach is great, it was really very windy.
Fantastic experience: The beach is spectacular. Black sand. The only downside is the parking. They closed the dirt area and there is no exit. You can turn around but it gets messy. You have to go very early.
Positive experience: Ideal for walking, although the adjacent facilities should be better maintained. The water has clean and murky parts, but there are no waves, making it ideal for children.
Positive experience: It's very nice, but the wind that blows causes the little stones to poke you mercilessly. It's better to stay close to the rocks to block the wind a bit.
Fantastic experience: Incredible beach
Positive experience: Very very cool!
Fantastic experience: It's quite nice, I'm from the island but I had never been here, it surprised me.
Positive experience: A nice beach... there's also a small beach bar... the worst thing is that there are few parking spots.
Negative experience: Closing off the area with chains so that cars cannot park is the worst thing they did; every day we're deprived of more beautiful things. Such a wonderful beach and they don't provide more access for parking and promoting tourism.
Fantastic experience: A magnificent beach of black sand/stone. If you go with children, you need to keep a close eye because just a couple of steps and it covers you. There are quite a few waves! It is very difficult to park, there are very few parking spaces, and from my experience, I don't recommend parking next to the mountain because a lot of police come and... You get a nice fine of €200.
Fantastic experience: I love it, black sand, the sea is wonderful, and a kiosk where you can get something refreshing or snack on something is great.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, but if I had to point something out... there are few parking spots, but it's true that if you wake up early
Positive experience: beautiful beach all black
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place, beautiful sunrise
Fantastic experience: Beautiful black sand beach
Positive experience: The beach is very nice. Little parking and there is no water in the showers.
Fantastic experience: Even if you have to leave the car a bit up, it's worth it to be able to go down to the beach. A pebble beach in the area, clean, lifeguards, with access for wheelchair users to the beach. A beach bar right by the beach that practically has everything... I will be back!!!
Fantastic experience: Carina
Fantastic experience: Spectacular
Fantastic experience: Beautiful volcanic sand beach
Fantastic experience: Quiet beach, to enjoy....
Fantastic experience: Like all the beaches in Tenerife, it is fantastic, the only problem, which also happens in most, is that on peak hot days and holidays, it is impossible to park and you have to leave.
Fantastic experience: Accessible location, easy parking depends on the days or if accessed through the port area or Nea itself. There is a beach bar, but water in the showers in 'winter' times is NO.
Fantastic experience: Super quiet and hardly any people. A recommended swim if you're in the area.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, crystal clear water
Positive experience: A very cozy black sand beach
Positive experience: Somewhat dirty almost always, very little parking.
Negative experience: Many cigarette butts, the locals are not very friendly, they don't care about planting the umbrella in your face, thus blocking your view of the sea. And if you like black sand, for those from the peninsula I recommend Gorguel beach in Murcia (only by car, only experienced drivers).
Positive experience: An ordinary beach with black sand. Very large waves and strong wind - swimming is impossible. I think it is not worth spending an hour and a half driving on steep and narrow serpentine roads to see this beach. There are other more accessible and safer places for swimming in the ocean in Tenerife.
Fantastic experience: Black sand beach, the scenery is nice, but there are very few parking spaces.
Positive experience: Great beach with a kiosk. I take away one star for the non-functioning showers.
Positive experience: Spacious. Clean and peaceful atmosphere. Dark sand. The showers didn't work.
Fantastic experience: Artificially renovated beach a few years ago between Radazul and Bocacangrejo. It is an area where there can be strong currents pulling inward. With the renovation, it has improved quite a bit and you can be relaxed. Coarse black sand. In the Bocacangrejo area, parking is better but sometimes insufficient for the number of people that gather. In the upper part, there is a park for kids with a zipline among other games. There is a beach bar to have a drink in the promenade area, but it does not have many more services.
Fantastic experience: Urban beach, with artificial sand, but very pleasant, easily accessible and with various services nearby.
Negative experience: The beach has no services, neither restrooms nor showers, it's a disaster. The best part is the beach bar, where you can enjoy food and drinks.
Fantastic experience: Suitable for coming with children, ideal for campers or motorhomes, quiet and peaceful environment.
Fantastic experience: A small beach with black sand. It is clean and well maintained. You have to be careful with the current, but it is great for going as a couple or in a small group. There is a beach bar, although there are no restrooms.
Fantastic experience: Small but beautiful and peaceful beach. Its waves are not big and its water is super clean. It has showers, a promenade, and a beach bar.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful, well-maintained beach. Also interesting and nice: You can walk quite far and even reach Tabaiba.
Positive experience: Black sand beach, quite coarse. The good thing is that it's in the northern area, near Santa Cruz, with parking space and a beach bar. The day I went, there were big and strong waves. I don't know if this is usual, but I think caution is needed when swimming, especially with children.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful
Positive experience: Small, black beach perfectly suitable for bathing.
Fantastic experience: Few people, clean and organized beach. I think it is the best in Tenerife.
Fantastic experience: Relatively safe beach for swimming, during summer it gets quite crowded and it's difficult to park.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful little beach in the south of the island. A bit more frequented by locals on the weekend.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic black sand, I recommend it for a dream vacation.
Positive experience: Ample parking, black sand beach in the shape of a semicircle, almost deserted. Nothing special...except for the fact that they were setting up to shoot a German TV series.
Positive experience: I love it, with a beach bar nearby, great for kids
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach, ideal for the winter months when 'the calms' arrive and the currents are not so strong. In summer it gets too crowded and the sea is too open to ensure manageable currents.
Positive experience: Nice and not crowded. The beach has gravel and stones, keep that in mind.
Fantastic experience: Super cool beach, clear waters.
Negative experience: Non-functional showers
Fantastic experience: -mega cool black sand -with a bit more wind, there are also a few more waves -super super adorable kiosk with smoothies, snacks, cocktails, ... -there are lifeguards -great vibe with the other people there, I feel super comfortable there -not so much of a tourist beach -there's no bathroom -you have to bring your own umbrellas
Fantastic experience: Small calm beach, not very crowded, very black gravel sand, a small refreshment stand to have a drink and a couple of snacks. Bringing your own meal is better, there's not much around, just residential areas. The setting is nice. Very good for finishing the afternoon after an activity in Candelaria.
Positive experience: This small beach had great waves at the time of visiting and the iconic volcanic sand. There's also one or two small food stands. There's limited parking space, so it might be wise to park a little uphill if you can afford to walk the somewhat steep road leading to the beach.
Positive experience: Pleasant and pretty sandy beach. Approach from the north for the best parking possibilities. Stay on the north side of you have small kids, as the waves are smaller there and the descent less steep. Not great for snorkling as visibility is poor and only sand.
