The waves were too powerful for the beach, but Garachico is a beautiful little town! I highly recommend a visit! It's definitely worth it!

Gerachico was a major letdown. It's definitely not one of the best pueblos in the North East of Tenerife. We were really disappointed by the lack of appeal.

This spot may be small, but it's full of surprises. The black pebbles and sand are nice, but the waters can be deceiving; they look crystal clear, but the waves can be quite strong. And if you're looking for a swimming experience, you'd better get there early - the sun sets quickly and the water gets icy cold. Don't forget to look out for the little crabs along the shoreline.

This place is an ideal spot to enjoy the sun and take a break. The water is so pure and inviting, but it's best to bring along some beach shoes as the ground is quite rocky, both in and out of the water.

This location is situated near the Garachico pools, making it an ideal spot for a dip. The natural breakwater ensures the waters are still and tranquil, and the landscape of the area is simply stunning. If you're looking for a place to take a dip and soak up some sun, this beach is a must-visit - it's one of the most beautiful on the island.
