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.

Sometimes closed because od the falling rocks on the trail but if its open definitly worth the little hike, very pretty and not many people. Awesome place. You can meet some surfers there 🏄🏻🏄🏾‍♂️ Big stones everywhere but in the water is black sand so your feet will experience all :) Very cooo beach 🖤🌊

Stunning beach with half of it in dark sand and the rest with pebbles. The access is restricted but there is a whole where you can sneak it and make your way to the beach. The trail that takes you down there is not dangerous by itself, but it has been closed due to possible landslides, so be careful!

The area was technically closed, but still has access through the fence. You are able to access from both sides. Please wat h out for falling rock. That is why it is closed afterall. Beautiful area and great beach at low tide.

Technically closed due to falling rocks, but I’m told it’s been closed off for at least 5 years. Take the trip at your own risk, but it’s kind of worth the risk. It’s easy to access through the closed off fences, if uncertain just wait for a local, who will disregard the signs like they were not there. Yes I guess it’s probably dangers, but so is every rocky beach overlooked by cliffs in the world. The local authority is probably being overly cautious. The walk is short along the cliff, unless you go down to the beach. And despite not really being breathtaking, it’s fun to see, good to watch the waves hit the shore and nice to be doing something technically forbidden. Exploring is not exploring without slight legal infringements.

Really nice route just along the ocean line. Beware because part of this route is currently closed due to falling rocks. You have to bypass the ban or go another way.
