Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Charco De La Laja Beach (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 Charco De La Laja Beach (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 Charco De La Laja Beach 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.

Charco de La Laja is one of the most beautiful and natural spots I’ve visited in Tenerife. I went on a Sunday around noon, and while there were some people, it wasn’t overly crowded. I recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the day if you want to enjoy the place in peace. Parking is conveniently located just above, and spots free up fairly quickly due to the constant flow of visitors. The descent takes about 5 minutes down a steep but safe staircase. There is a lifeguard very kind and helpful!

Amazing natural pool! Easy access, parking available on the upper roads. Bring water shoes, snorkel mask, towel, sunscreen and lunch. Pay attention to the incoming waves - though not dangerous, awareness is important. Water is refreshingly cool. Had a great swim!

Really nice free public beach/ natural pool formed by the ocean. There are signs on which conditions it is safe to enter. Even though the ocean was a bit rough, the pool was not affected and was calm. There are very few places to lay down towels. We did not see showers or toilets. There are about 10 free parking spots at the end of the road. There are stairs all the way down to the pool from the road. It is not wheelchair accessible.

When the ocean is calm, then it's perfect for snorkeling. And for experienced swimmers it's fun when the waves are stronger.
