Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa Amarilla (Tenerife) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa Amarilla (Tenerife) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa Amarilla for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Exploring Tenerife's coastline can be a great experience if you have the right conditions. Low tide and low winds make it ideal for snorkeling and hiking. While sunbathing on the rocks is possible, space is very limited. Make sure to wear water shoes as the rock path can be quite slippery, and there's also the danger of urchins in the water. The water is crystal clear and teeming with fish, plus there are some spectacular underwater caves and holes to explore. Hiking around the mountain is possible at low tide, but you must be careful to return before the path is submerged. Alternatively, you can climb up to the top of the mountain and down the other side - this route isn't affected by the tide.

Snorkeling at this beach was incredible and it's great for experienced swimmers. We were there for two days and saw a variety of fish, crabs, an octopus, and a turtle. However, the waves were quite strong, so it's best to stay away from the reefs and rocks. There's no lifeguard on duty, so make sure you take all the necessary precautions.

The beach is not an ideal spot for a relaxing day. The rocks are low and orange, but the ground is covered in black rocks. The wind is so strong that it makes it difficult to stay comfortable, and there are lizards everywhere. Not a great place to spend a day.

This beach is an absolute gem! It's conveniently located near the airport, and the views are simply breathtaking. Plus, there's a small bar where you can grab a refreshing beverage. It's definitely worth a visit if you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds.

A true gem. It's not like any other beach - there are rocky formations you can explore and climb to soak up the sun. It's a breathtaking and enchanting spot!
