Arena de San Felipe is not suitable for swimming, but it does attract surfers from time to time. It is not a great spot for a dip in the water.

This beach near El Hormiguero is a great spot for those looking for a solitary experience. The waves here are high and the atmosphere is peaceful and serene. Unfortunately, there are no facilities or amenities around, so visitors should come prepared. It's a great place to escape the crowds and enjoy some alone time.

The beach had gorgeous glimmering sand and smooth pebbles, stunningly clear waters, and majestic mountains in the distance. ❤❤

Before you get to the beach, you have to walk over a lot of stones, which can be uncomfortable for people with sensitive feet.
