Almáciga
Playa de Almaciga, TF-134, 38129 Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Large black sandy beach in the north, frequented by surfers
TYPOLOGY: black sand
ACCESS: direct
SERVICES: parking, beach bar
BEST TIME TO VISIT: all year round
We like it a lot because it has a beach bar right outside where you can have a drink, and because we practice surfing. On weekends, it's usually full of vans and overnight campers. The beach is quite wide and usually has areas with plenty of sand even at high tide.
If you are not uncomfortable with a couple of stairs, and if you are in the area, we recommend that you also go to the next beach: Benijo, in summer probably the most beautiful beach of all Tenerife.
Be specially carefull with strong currents, we recommend caution when swimmming.
