Benijo beach

An exotic nudist beach, with a restaurant close by

Even though you may visit with company, and there are other bathers around, the solitude and serenity of Benijo beach and its location in area of great beauty makes it a reference point when it comes to an alternative beach experience in Tenerife. Located in Anaga Rural Park (Parque Rural de Anaga) in the north-east of the island, Benijo is found, rather like gold at the end of a rainbow, at the end of a road that winds its way through a laurisilva forest with spectacular views over the Atlantic and a section of difficult terrain with ravines and peaks that demand you to stop and take photos.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Do not use soap or gel in the showers located at the entrance to the beach.
- Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
- Pets are prohibited at most beaches. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
