Los Guíos Beach is one of the most emblematic spots in Santiago del Teide. Nestled in the shelter of the impressive Cliffs of Los Gigantes, this black volcanic sand beach offers a peaceful and safe swimming experience in a unique natural setting.
Its views are undoubtedly an indisputable attraction. From the shore, you can contemplate the magnitude of this geological phenomenon, with its vertical walls rising up to 600 metres above sea level. An impressive setting in Tenerife that makes Los Guíos Beach an ideal place to relax, swim or simply enjoy the scenery.
A beach accessible to everyone
