Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa de los Roques (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 los Roques (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 los Roques 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.

The beach may share a name with another, but it definitely doesn't share the same features. If you're looking for an arch-shaped rock, you've come to the wrong place. Sorry, but you'll have to keep looking!

That place at San Juan de la Rambla is quite different from Los Realejos. It's best to take a dip when the waters are still, as it can be hard to get in and out of the sea when it's choppy.

This beach is a great spot to take in the view of the ocean. There are plenty of places to sit and take in the scenery, but not many spots to take a dip in the water due to the rough waves and difficult access.

Forget the beach you know and love - this one is something special! Prepare to be wowed by the stunning views and serene atmosphere.

This is not the beach you are looking for. Sadly, there is no access to the ocean here. We tried to get to the beach from two different directions, only to find out that the beach is actually in Puerto de la Cruz. We drove to Puerto, only to discover that the beach was closed. You can still go to the viewpoint, but without the ability to get to the beach.
