    Good safe beach for anyone
    Easy access beach, gently sloping into the sea. Lifeguard on duty. Classified as a naturist beach but there seemed to be a mix of clothed/unclothed singles, couples and families. The cove at the red mountain end seems mainly for 'chaps' to 'hang out' but the beach is long and plenty of space for everyone. Cafe nearby at the campsite otherwise main supermarket only about 2km away.

    very interesting place
    A very nice beach, especially towards the end where the rocky landscape begins. Certainly a nudist beach with a lot of activity going on at the bushes or further away on the rocky side. Walking distance from El Medano. Bring beverages and some food with you. Partys/events are likely to happen after the sunset. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. A must visit for the adventurous. Not well suited for families.

    Beautiful beach
    The beach is big, the sand is smooth, the water level goes down smoothly and there are no rocks. The best natural beach for swimming in our opinion. The views are also nice. The only downside was that at least at this time, there were no toilets/changing rooms or any other commodities.

This is the worst beach I have ever been to in my life. It was so windy!!!! The sand was blowing so hard at my legs it felt like little bullets were hitting me.
We travelled from Costa Adeje to this beach to try out something new and ended up driving all the way back to go to better beaches on the west.
There were Little Rock forts dotted about this massive windy beach to hide in, but once you stood up from behind the rock fort you couldn’t open your eyes or mouth in case sand blew in.
Also, it’s in the middle of nowhere and weirdo men walking about.

A beautiful beach with a chilled out vibe. Plenty of places for secluded sunbathing, and a option to go without clothes if you so choose. This area is to the left over a small hill as you look out to sea. The main beach has two life guard stations for safety

Watch out for the sunbed and umbrella hire. The sign shown 2 x sunbeds and 1 x umbrella for what seems like 5 euro. Its actually 5 euro per item. Otherwise a great spot with lots of parking but bring food and drink.

Another lovely beach in the South of Tenerife and if you don't mind a nude body here and there then a must visit. The sea can be quite rough so caution if a must when swimming but we did notice this year that there are no life guards along the coast so that's a plus. Typically used by the Canarians as its what I would call a rural beach, so not touristy at all which is good if you just want to relax. It can be windy down this part of the island so ensure its a nice calm day and take your own brolly as this is not catered for here.

Walked the length of the beach. Plenty of parking in the carpark and on the roadside but be careful on exiting as there is a large dip in the carpark just before the exit as you turn. Clothes optional on the sunbeds to the left of the beach and also over the small hill on the next beach about a 50/50 mix. Beach clean. The sunbeds are 10 euro for the day 2 beds and an umbrella. Same charge no matter what time you arrive. Mojito man sells a variety of drinks ... a real character. Can get windy and sandblasted. Good beach highly recommended.

Have come to this beach many years as we live here. Arrived today found 2 nice beds, put our towels on just got nice and comfy to be told by the beach owners that we had to move as it was reserved. I have never come across this before and I am disgusted. I thought it was first come first served.

A lovely quite wide beach in the middle of nature. Great sand to play with for kids. The waves were very high, so more of wave jumping than swimming. Swimming would have been to dangerous. There are live guards watching the beach very well. No toilet, no shop so take you food and drink with you.

Went here Jan 2023. The sun beds there to the left as you look out to see , had gone. There was a life guard presence which is good. The main naturist area is to the far left out of sight , though there are some other places on the main beach that appear clothes optional. A relaxing place

This is the largest beach in South Tenerife & is excellent for a day out. Sure there are little facilities at the beach but this ensures it is not overcrowded with drunken louts like many others!
It is kept very clean & the water is clear. Sun loungers & shades can be rented ( €10/ day), often a guy walks up & down selling cold drinks & will even make you a cocktail! There also Portaloos now.
Also to those complaining ( or "warning") of naked people here - get a life! You are the absurd ones wishing to wear clothing on a sunny beach however it is entirely up to you & if you are offended & so prudish to object to others being as nature intended, please go elsewhere!

My wife and I came here after searching online for nudist beaches near us. This one looked the nicest.
When we arrived we couldn’t see any nudes at all. We spoke the the guy with the sun beds in the middle of the beach and he said most of the nudes lay up near the rock. He told us we were welcome to go nude on his loungers if we liked. So we did. We had a lot of looks from the non nudist as we laid there without a care in the world.
We also got a bit frisky when people weren’t looking which was great.
We walked up towards the rock and sure enough there was a lot more nudes.
We came back for 2 more days and I have to say it was amazing. The sea is very rough at times but the beach is great. There is a bar up the far end around the corner with a toilet if you don’t fancy the sea lol. You must order a mahito off the dancing beach man. It’s the best and his dance is so funny. Overall if your a naturist and want a relaxing day this is it.
