Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa de Barranco Seco (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 de Barranco Seco (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 de Barranco Seco 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.

This location is definitely worth the journey! The views are stunning and I highly recommend it. Just be careful of the large, slippery stones.

This beach near Casas de Araza has a spectacular view of the cliffs of the giants, and best of all, it has public free entry!

This Pebble (stone) beach is located close to Puerto de Los Gigantes, after Los Guíos beach. It is usually accessed by boat, kayak, or on foot via a path from El Molledo.

Playa de Barranco Seco is an ideal place to relax and unwind. Though it's a bit of a trek - about two hours from Tamaimo - it's well worth it for the peace and quiet you'll find here. Highly recommended.
