Las Gaviotas Beach

A secret beach in Tenerife

Located in the north of the island, just a few kilometers from the capital, this beach is located among volcanos. The spot is a feast for the eyes. Black sand blends with the green of abundant vegetation. The site is a refuge from the crowds. It’s a great place for peace and quiet.

Drive to paradise

Despite being remote, access to this beach is relatively easy if you arrive by car. If you’re coming from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, drive towards San Andrés and then take the detour towards Igueste (TF-121). If you choose public transport, you have to take a bus to Igueste and then walk the rest of the way.

- 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.
