Playa Agua Dulce Los Silos beach is promising to get better for Tenerife holidays.
Playa Agua Dulce,( sweet water beach) a Los Silos Tenerife west coast shore line which is very close to the intriguing Teno mountain range seems to be rather an insider beach for quiet swimming vacation or for a day trip to eat tapas by the shore. A friend took me onto an excursion by car A sea gull which walked on the veranda rail of the nearby beach restaurant was a Not far from Playa Agua Dulce is also the lighthouse Faro de Teno from where one can see the last stretch of coastal cliffs where touristic Los Gigantes is behind. However, the coastal road above the beach ends just above a rock pool I could make out with a few cars parked in the road's dead end. It does not take you to the lighthouse.
This Los Silos beach which looks like 150 meters long, only, showed a pebble section, in May. They told me, however, at the bistro restaurant nearby where we had 3 good cheap tapas dishes with a small bottle of water and a coke for EU 12 that Playa Agua Dulce has black sand in summer.
The sweet water beach is never really crowded they say because, it's not on many tourist maps. Many locals prefer using the almost finished new lido beside the beach. Pictures of it with its stunning back ground landscape may be seen soon. Not one hotel or holiday home is directly by the beach. People find those driving up a good tarmac road leading into the historical town Los Silos. By the way the Playa (beach) can be reached with bus line Titsa 365 once daily in case you stay at Buena Vista. Not operating on week-ends or holidays.
When looking past the sea gull from the large beach restaurant over the quiet ocean towards a narrow land outcrop stretching into the Atlantic I could make out a couple of fans of Tenerife fishing with their rods trying to catch some ocean bounty.This is where the Playa Agua Dulce charco a small rock pool or natural pool is just below it which makes an additional feature for this Los Silos beach.
Lido Los Silos has a large square swimming pool bordered by low white walls. Some black lava boulders are inserted into the walls and break the monotony.
The view of ocean and mountains in the distance is stunning. Los Silos skyline stretches out in front of the slopes. Entrance of the pool is EU 1,80 for adults. Children, certainly pay something as well. I didn't see it displayed, though.
What looks like a children pool separated by a makeshift wall from the main pool is not open for the public, yet. Much building material is scattered around it with a cement mixer standing idle on the side It was Siesta time when the picture was taken. Something is, definitely, happening as far as revamping of Playa Agua Dulce is concerned. Please, return from Playa Agua Dulce to Tenerife beaches.

A local lady within the restaurant also told me that the whole beach was going to be revamped and that I could see the building equipment and material for the beach renovation over the road.
The only building by the beach has sort of a round dome. It's housing the restaurant as well as a gymnasium. Behind it is kind of a lido whose main section looks more or less finished.
