Playa del los Charcos
Located along the coast of Costa Teguise, Playa Los Charcos offers an unforgettable experience. Fine sand with a characteristic beige color welcomes visitors, who can easily reach the beach located north of Arrecife. In addition, the presence of numerous parking spaces in the area makes access convenient.
Despite the predominance of hotels in the surrounding landscape, majestic palm trees add to the overall atmosphere, creating a relaxing setting. Playa Los Charcos offers everything one needs to spend a day of complete relaxation. The bay is protected by two imposing stone walls that reduce the impact of waves, making the water calm and safe. This makes it an ideal place for children, non-swimmers and the elderly to enjoy the calm waters.
For those who want a stroll, one of the two walls of the bay houses a footpath that offers the possibility of a short scenic walk. Along the path, one can admire the beauty of the surrounding landscape and enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean.
Playa Los Charcos also offers the chance to discover small hidden treasures. A group of stray cats, known for their shyness, have been living for years on a small rocky ledge directly overlooking the sea. According to local residents, these charming felines love to be cuddled and fed fresh fish. Interacting with them can be a unique experience for animal-loving visitors.
Playa El Ancla
Playa El Ancla, located between the towns of Costa Teguise and Arrecife, is a wonderful find for those who want to spend a day at the beach in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It is often the less crowded beaches that give us the best sun and sea experiences, and Playa El Ancla is a perfect example of this.
This delightful beach, although not very extensive, offers fine golden-colored sand, enhanced by the sporadic presence of matte-black volcanic rocks. These natural elements almost seem to highlight the clarity of the white sand, creating a fascinating contrast. The sea that washes this beach is quite calm and peaceful, making it ideal for long swims on sunny days. In addition, Playa El Ancla offers a good quantity and quality of services to meet the needs of visitors.
The fact that it is located halfway between the important tourist resorts of Arrecife and Costa Teguise, but without having an autonomous urban core, has probably preserved this beach from the flow of tourists, which allows its beauty to be admired without the massive presence of bathers. Recently, it has undergone an effective maintenance effort that has introduced a number of basic infrastructure basics, including a parking lot, a boardwalk, and bus connections. Despite its privacy, the beach is cleaned promptly and efficiently.
