Playa El Charcón is a small, picturesque beach located in the municipality of Tazacorte. It is nestled between a lighthouse and Playa Nueva, boasting a unique natural landscape. The beach is part of a Biosphere Reserve and is situated in a semi-urban area.
The beach's shoreline is mainly composed of pebbles, and it is known for the vibrant color of its water and the surrounding bay. Despite its beauty, the beach is not always suitable for swimming due to the presence of sharp rocks in the water and the frequent occurrence of strong, moderate waves. Behind the beach, there is a ravine, further contributing to the diverse scenery of the area.
Playa El Charcón is 8 meters wide and 220 meters long. It is not a crowded beach, with no more than 30% of the beach being occupied during peak season. This could be attributed to its isolated location and the lack of proper signage.
In terms of amenities, there is a bar located near the beach, although the tables are quite close together.
You can enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the bars situated on the beach.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty of the beach and the fabulous color of the water as the most liked features. However, they also express dissatisfaction with the scant amount of sand on the shore and the close proximity of tables at the bar.
Beach lovers heading to Playa El Charcón often opt for accommodations in the nearby town of Tazacorte, known for its charming atmosphere and proximity to other attractions. Alternatively, some visitors choose to stay in Los Llanos de Aridane, a larger town offering a wider range of services and amenities.
