Playa Los Roques, your own private Tenerife beach?

How copy legally

It was almost deserted when this shot was taken in February 2010.

This beach is not on normal tourist maps.

Most of the time, it is wild and dangerous for swimming.

No beach warden puts up a red flag or protects you there, as is normal on most of Tenerife beaches in north or south.

We couldn't believe our eyes. A young tourist girl in a bikini was stretched out on this rough stone beach by this almost savage beach shore. They were huge round volcanic rocks of white and dark colors. I hardly managed to walk on those big beach stones although I am quite agile.

Great danger to the environment of Tenerife west coast:

It took good balancing for my friend Petra Molkenbuhr, the known painter from Hamburg.

Here, she is tackling the dangerous walk over the pebbles on the Playa Roques Pebble beach.

By the way, Petra pointed out fairly big peaces of broken plastic in yellow, red, blue and white, which had been washed ashore.

They would certainly do much damage if they were landing in the stomach of a big sea creature, such as a whale or a dolphin.

Virgin beach besides plastic:

Look at this almost virgin beach with its most delicate out of reach flora! Click to enlarge...It is on elevated rocky ground. That Tenerife beach of Los Realejos by Puerto de la Cruz was the favorite holiday hangout of a British
Reiki master, 2 years ago. This friend of a friend of mine felt in abslolute tune with nature by Playa Los Roques. There, he could relax and meditate best.

By the way, the rocky beach Los Roques which isn't bigger than 10m deep by about 50m long has comfortable sand in summer only.

No secret on how to get to beach Los Roques Tenerife:

Discover the stairs of access Playa Roques on the side of Hotel Maritim in the photo beside! A winding path with wooden rails and good steps invites to reach deep down to Playa Los Roques. A hiking route leads to it from Los Realejos La Longuera, as well as from Hotel Los Roques in La Romantica 2.

You have an option of a crossroad before setting your mind to the climb down to the beach.

It would lead you through the gorge above the beach along Rambla del Castro and as far as San Juan de la Rambla, eventually.

It is bordered by lush costal vegetation, where Tamarix trees and Tibaiba abound.

Its steep descent of about 300 meters is not ideal for ailing knees.
