Los Pocillos Beach

A central beach

In the heart of Puerto del Carmen there is an area known as Grandes Playas (Big Beaches). This includes Playa Grande, Los Pocillos, and Matagorda. Los Pocillos beach, next to the busy Avenida de Las Playas, in Puerto del Carmen, is more than one kilometre long and has calm waters and golden sand. The surface has very little incline, so at high tide pools sometimes form on the beach.

A beach for everyone

In addition to having a promenade and a garden area, this beach offers visitors multiple services such as sunbeds, sun umbrellas, showers, litter bins, toilets, parking, and restaurants.

  • 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.
