Playa El Pinque

Playa El Pinque is a small beach situated in the municipality of Adeje, on the island of Tenerife, Spain.

Despite the rocky terrain, visitors can comfortably walk on the beach by wearing appropriate footwear such as wet shoes or sandals.

The beach's bay is sheltered, making it an attractive spot for families. However, due to its rocky nature, it may not be suitable for very young children to swim. Instead, the beach is ideally suited for activities such as snorkeling, offering a unique underwater experience for visitors.
