Playa de Los Tarajales

Playa de Los Tarajales is a distinctive beach located in the scenic coastal town of Los Cristianos, offering a view of the port and the picturesque Canary Island, La Gomera. Unlike most beaches, Playa de Los Tarajales is characterized by its gravel and rock terrain rather than the traditional sandy beachfront. This unique feature contributes to a quieter atmosphere, as it tends to attract fewer crowds compared to other more populated sandy beaches. In addition to its tranquil environment, Playa de Los Tarajales is a popular location for a variety of leisure activities. It is particularly favored by those who enjoy shore fishing and sunbathing. The beach also provides an idyllic setting for viewing the sunset, with the added charm of watching ferries coming into the port. Despite its allure, visitors should be aware of potential challenges when visiting Playa de Los Tarajales. Swimming may be difficult due to the presence of jellyfish in the water. Additionally, cleanliness has been reported to be an issue at this beach. The promenade area near the beach, although offering stunning views during sunset, can become crowded. However, the beach itself is known to be more tolerant towards nudity, providing an alternative to the busier beaches nearby. Concerning amenities, the quality of food and service can vary between different establishments in the surrounding area. Despite this, the beach's prime location within Los Cristianos allows for convenient access to other stunning beaches in the vicinity.
