This spot is an excellent place to unwind and take in the sights. The ocean is crystal clear, and the view of Los Gigantos is stunning. The temperature is perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying a peaceful day.

That place offers a stunning visual experience, especially when viewed from the water. It's a great spot for taking photos, and a must-see for anyone looking for a beautiful vista. Highly recommended.

This location is certainly not a resort. It's a pebbly beach at the end (or midpoint or start) of a long hike. There are no toilets, just a few vendors selling boat tickets and cold drinks. The pier is great for swimming, but there's not a lot of shade.

The view from Masca is breathtaking, but it's not something you'd want to experience more than once. The road to get there is a winding, treacherous journey through the mountains. If you're looking to reach the beach, you'll have to endure a grueling 8 km hike down from the village.
