Playa El Charc贸n

Playa El Charc贸n 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 Charc贸n 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.
