There is a very nice path from PDLC to Bollulo along the banana estates, it is worth walking, because the beach is nothing but a quiet black,volcanic beach. The scenery is fine and the place itself impressive,although not so tidy - there is a lot of human smells along the path near the beach. More

Many tourists come to the resort of Puerto de la Cruz in the north of Tenerife without ever finding out about one of its hidden gems namely the beach known as Playa Bollullo. It is a secluded black sand beach and only accessible by walking or by car for part of the way. It is well worth the effort though... More

Lovely, sheltered beach with a cafe. Bit of a trek to get there so not for people with disabilities or small children but well worth the effort. More

A good stopping point along the spectacular coast walk from Puerto de la Cruz. We enjoyed a cheap beer in the beach hut on the cliff and spent a relaxing hour watching the waves from the rocks. Worth the detour from the main coast path. Quiet in November with only a handful of other tourists, but might get busy in... More

Looking down on the beach provides a great view. I would say that it is not safe to bathe here but the walk is good and the sea crashing on the beach can be spectacular. More

Walk along the front from La Paz (where the para-gliders launch) under the tunnel and across the cliffs to this stunning beach. You need to be fit to get there it is quite a walk but worth it. (Good restaurant above the beach for a menu of the day) More
