Playa del Bollullo

Playa del Bollullo is more of a hidden beach. It is situated in the north of Tenerife, just outside of Puerto de la Cruz. The beach is black sand, surrounded by cliffs and crashing wild waves, and wild volcanic beauty. The Atlantic here is kind of raging which provides an awesome place to watch the waves and for stronger swimmers to play. Regardless if you are horizontally lying on the dark sand enjoying the fading sunlight, or listening to the crashing surf of the waves with little to no interruption, you know that you are in paradise. Playa del Bollullo is the beach you pick to feel as if the world has slowed down just for you.
