Beach, adrenaline and wild nature

TYPOLOGY: black sand
ACCESS: 20 minute-walk
SERVICES:  none
BEST TIME TO VISIT: summer

Los Patos beach, together with El Bollullo and Ancón, is one of Tenerife's privileged places. Although it is a little complicated to go down, especially for those who are afraid of heights, the place is overwhelming: 600 meters of black volcanic sand, green mountains full of vegetation and the ocean in its purest form.

On the beach there are no facilities of any kind, no lifeguards and the currents can be very strong, so we recommend not to swim too far out.

USE CAUTION WHEN GOING DOWN!
